1. My Youtube Recipe Channel→What Santa left behind - Please come to see！
2. Wash each blossom with water to remove salt, and soak in plenty of water for 20-30 mins. Set aside.
3. 【For Matcha Mizu-Yokan】　Strain matcha powder with a tea strainer. Add 2 tsp granulated sugar, and stir well while crushing lumps. Add 1.5 Tbsp hot water, and stir well to smooth. Set aside.
4. Put water and agar-agar powder in a small pot, and mix roughly. Keep boiling for 2 mins, sometimes stirring. Turn down the heat a little, add sugar, stir it to melt the sugar.
5. Add Shiro-An, and stir it until smooth. Turn off the heat, and add the matcha mixture while straining it. Stir until combined.
6. Put the pot on a wet cloth, and continue to stir until thickened a little for 1-2 mins. Pour into a wetted mold. Let it cool as it is. This jelly sets at room temperature.
7. 【For Sakura Mizu-yokan】 Make it in the same way as the Matcha Mizu-Yokan. Put water and agar-agar powder in a small pot, and mix roughly. Keep boiling for 2 mins, sometimes stirring. Turn down the heat a little, add sugar, stir it to melt the sugar.
8. Add Sakura-An, and stir it until smooth. Turn off the heat, and immediately spread a small amount of hot mixture over the matcha jelly. Melt the surface of the matcha jelly to stick sakura jelly.
9. Stir the remaining sakura jelly for 1 min, and then pour over while warm. Let it cool as it is.
10. 【For Sakura-Jelly 】 Pat the soaked cherry blossoms dry with a paper towel. Put water and agar-agar powder in a small pot, and mix roughly. Keep boiling for 2 mins, sometimes stirring. Turn down the heat a little, add sugar, stir it to melt the sugar.
