Yes, little cheeky me :) I got matcha from japan literally actually from japan, as well coming in with anko paste where I always like to eat it with ice cream or dorayaki ( japanese type pancake & doraemons fav treat ! :P ), so I decided why not combine it together? as I have had red bean adzuki creme popsticles before, why not add in some matcha?
oh yes deliciousness combined into one trust me, but after a snow ball fight it is a joy to have with your friends, simply get the ingredients at your local store ( for basic ingredients ) or spesific asian food / japenese food stores is where to get anko or matcha.
As myself, I collect my matcha stright from japan although there are many options online just search up " matcha green tea powder " online and a ton of results will come up, for anko I purchase it in my little japanese food shop where it is already made ready to use in a jar, of course you can make your own the youtuber RUNNYRUNNY999 showed me how to make anko and tsuban pastes.
JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, matcha green tea powder isn't the tea that is loose leaf or in a tea bag, that is not what we are looking for it is in a powder form , best in a very rich green color, this can be bought sweetened or unsweetened, I now got mine straight from japan, although there are many sold on amazon, rishi tea, teavana,etc ( tea shops ).
I guess I will start :) here it is :) ( IMAGE BY BRITTIMAGEQUEST ) ( BRITANNICA )
Ingridients
4-5 tbsp of matcha green tea powder (unsweetened)
2 tbsp coconut milk (NOT CREAM OF COCONUT)
3-5 tbsp ( depends on how sweet you like it ) of white cane sugar
50 ml milk
300 ml heavy cream
5-6 tbsp of sweet condensed milk
3-5 tbsp of pure mineral water HOT ( clean water)
1/3 to 1/2 cup of anko or tsuban ( red bean paste ) ANKO: red bean paste,sweet no skin TSUBAN: red bean paste sweet ( sometimes not as sweet as anko ) WITH SKINS
HOW TO: MAKES AROUND 8 SERVINGS ( depending on the popsticle mould size )
in a medium sized mixing bowl, sift in your matcha green tea powder, add in your water little by little to create a paste ( mix it with a balloon whisk ) afterwards, add in your white sugar and mix well until most of the sugar granules have dissolved. After the sugar has dissolved, add in your condensed sweet milk and mix well, when mixing ( with a balloon whisk PLEASE ! ) slowly add in your heavy cream, milk, and coconut milk and mix very well ( NOT until bubbling ).
Prepare some popsticle moulds, this can be bought at local craft stores, cooking supply stores and supermarkets aswell, on the bottom of the mould add in some red bean paste, push it down, after adding in the paste, pour some green tea mixture ontop of the paste 3/4 trough the mould.
Prepare a small glass with warm temperature water, add in the popsticle sticks into the water and let it soak up for about 20 minutes, in the mean time freeze the mixture ( in the mould ) for 1 to 1.5 hours in the freezer.
REmove the moulds from the freezer, before placing your sticks in if you would like add some more red bean paste at the ends to finish it off so that it is full, then slowly push in the sticks in ( NOTE : MAKE SURE THAT THE POPSTICLES ARE NOT TOO RUNNY OR FROZEN , JUST RIGHT SO THAT YOU CAN STILL PUSH IN THE STICKS ).
FREEZE IT FOR AT LEAST 5-6 HOURS FOR BEST RESULTS FREEZE OVERNIGHT.
NOTE WHEN SERVING : prepare a bowl ( that can fit the mould inside of it )WITH HOT WATER, when serving place the mould in the hot water so that you can remove the popsticles better.
ENJOY.
TO ALL THE SPICERS :) happy new year all the best for 2015
