In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 3 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
In a small separate bowl, sift the matcha green tea powder to remove any clumps, then whisk it with a few tablespoons of the heated cream mixture until smooth and lump-free.
Stir the matcha mixture back into the saucepan with the cream mixture. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the green tea flavor.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until it has completely dissolved. Ensure no lumps remain.
Add the vanilla extract and stir to incorporate.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl with a spout to remove any remaining lumps or impurities.
Pour the mixture evenly into 6 small serving glasses, ramekins, or molds.
Allow the panna cotta to cool to room temperature, then cover each container with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with a dusting of matcha powder, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
