These are very simple to make but you will obviously need some matcha, which is a finely ground green tea powder. It is available in health food stores, tea shops, large grocery stores, and online at Teavana.

Matcha made in heaven |
To make the base I whisked all of the ingredients together in a small saucepan, let it come to a low boil just until thickened, and then cooled off the mixture before pouring it into molds to freeze overnight. I wanted a creamy base, so I used almond milk and a little cornstarch. You could use cow’s milk, of course, but if you do be sure to use at least 2 percent milkfat.
These are really delicious and if you are a tea lover you will find them a lovely snack on a hot day. I have already made a second batch. Keep in mind that these have all of the caffeine of the tea, so unless you want to stay up all night you might not want to eat these late in the day (yes, I learned this the hard way). Here is the recipe:
Creamy Matcha Pops
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/3 cup light agave nectar, or 2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons matcha powder
2 teaspoons cornstarch
In a small, cold saucepan, whisk together all ingredients until all lumps are gone. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat until it comes to a low boil and begins to thicken. Remove from heat and cool completely. Pour into ice pop molds and freeze overnight. Makes 4-6 pops, depending on the size of your molds.

Oh my goodness Angela, I LOVE LOVE green tea, sometimes hubby teases me I have tea through my veins :))
These pops are just perfect! Can I have one now?
Just what I want right now!
I think they might melt in shipping 🙂 Seriously, I love these. I could eat way more of them than is advisable.
I will definitely try these. Where did you get those swirly molds?
Those look fantastic!
What a great idea! They would be delightful to serve after an Asian meal. My only problem: all my pop molds have monsters or unicorns on the handles. Definitely not as sophisticated as yours!!!
Those are gorgeous! Seriously. I don't seen any problem with photographing the green. Wow. It sounds fantastic as well.
Thank you! I tried a lot of background colors because many things made them look yellow or brown…
@Christine, now I must have unicorn-handled ice pop molds. Must. Have.
I love using Matcha in our desserts too. Great pops recipe.
I'm a big Matcha fan too, but this great idea didn't cross my mind! Love it!!!
Yummm….looks delicious! New GFC follower…would love for you to follow back 🙂
