Ingredients

2 tablespoons chia seeds
200 ml milk (vegetable or non-vegetable, depending on your preference - almond, coconut or soy milk work well)

Instructions

In a small bowl, sift the matcha powder to avoid lumps.
Add the milk of your choice to the matcha, whisking vigorously until smooth and homogeneous. If you have a matcha whisk(chasen), this is ideal, but a simple non-metal whisk or spoon will also work.
Add the maple syrup or honey and vanilla extract, then mix well.
In a separate bowl, add the chia seeds. Gradually pour the matcha mixture over them, stirring to coat the chia seeds and prevent them from sticking together.
Leave the mixture to stand for about 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any chia clumps.
Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and swell to form a thick, creamy texture.
Once the pudding is ready, stir lightly. Serve in bowls or verrines. Garnish with fresh fruit (berries, mango, kiwi), nuts or granola for added texture and flavor.

Tips

Sweetness: Adjust the amount of sweetener to suit your taste. You can also use mixed dates or a natural sweetener.
Milk: Coconut milk makes a creamier pudding, while almond or soy milk gives a lighter texture. Choose according to your preferences.
Texture: If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the chia seeds with the matcha milk and leave to stand.

Recipe notes

The matcha is a finely ground green tea powder that has been used for centuries in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Unlike brewed green tea, where the leaves are removed before consumption, matcha allows the entire leaf to be ingested, maximizing health benefits. Rich in antioxidants, notably catechins, matcha is renowned for its gentle stimulating effect, promoting both concentration and relaxation thanks to its L-theanine content. What's more, matcha contains vitamins and minerals and can be incorporated into a variety of culinary preparations, such as lattes, desserts or smoothies, providing a distinct umami flavor and a bright green hue.

Chia seeds are ancient superfoods that originated in the Aztec and Mayan civilizations and are prized for their nutritional richness. These tiny seeds are an excellent source of fiber, omega-3, protein and minerals such as calcium and magnesium. One of chia's remarkable properties is its ability to absorb up to 10 times its weight in liquid, forming a gel that can be used to thicken puddings or smoothies, while promoting satiety and hydration. What's more, these seeds have a neutral taste, making them easy to incorporate into a wide variety of sweet or savory recipes, while providing benefits for digestion and lasting energy.
