Instructions
Step 1
1. Prepare Pea Protein Paste: In a bowl, mix 100g of pea protein powder with 1 cup of almond milk (from the 2L total) until smooth to avoid clumps.
Step 2
2. Dissolve Matcha Powder: In another bowl, whisk 50g of matcha powder with 1/2 cup of warm almond milk until smooth (avoid hot milk to prevent clumping).
Step 3
3. Heat the Almond Milk: In a large pot, pour the remaining almond milk and add the sugar. Stir over medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Step 4
4. Add Agar-Agar: Gradually sprinkle the 25g of agar-agar powder into the pot while continuously stirring to prevent clumping. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the agar-agar is fully dissolved.
Step 5
5. Incorporate Pea Protein and Matcha: Pour in the pea protein paste and matcha mixture. Stir continuously to ensure everything is evenly distributed and no lumps form.
Step 6
6. Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture. If it's too bitter, add more sugar (1 tablespoon at a time) or a splash of lemon juice for brightness.
Step 7
7. Pour and Set: Turn off the heat and pour the mixture into molds or a large container. Let it cool at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, then refrigerate for 2-4 hours until fully set.
