Green Tea Layer Pudding

I hope you don't feel sick of another green tea recipe :D

I am not going to explain how much I adores green tea, you must get bored and snoring in the count of 10, haha. The smell, taste, oooh so intoxicating. Worry not, I know that we all should be careful with our caffeine intake. But hey, I have never consume caffeine more than once a day. And again, green tea makes this pudding sooooo irresistible! 

If you like smooth pudding, do not omit the use of egg yolk and maizena. But if you're nose is ultra sensitive to yolk smell, just skip it. Use only the maizena. 

INGREDIENTS :

1 sachet of agar-agar powder (7gr)
125gr sugar
1 can of evaporated milk 
250ml plain uht milk
water, until all combined, total of 1 L liquid
1 egg yolk
2 tsp of maizena
3 tsp of matcha green tea powder*

*The amount of green tea used in this recipe may vary depending on what brand you use. 

how to :
1. Prepare a pan, use a low heat position on your stove
2. mix the agar-agar powder with the sugar, water, and milk. Stir the mixture until it almost boil. Frequent stirring is needed.
3. Add about 4 tbsp of the mixture to egg yolk, mix well, and then pour it to the rest of the batter and stir well until it comes to the boiled, do the same thing to the maizena.

4. Divide the mixture into two separate pans, 700ml for the green tea mixture. Take 4 tablespoon of the mixture and mix well with the green tea powder. Pour to the remaining mixture with fine strainer. Do not skip stage! Green tea powder has small lumps!

5. Turn off your stove, wait until all the steam gone.
