Instructions
Step 1
Start by soaking **the gelatin sheets** in water for **15 minutes**. You can use any amount of water to soak the gelatin, as the sheets are quite easy to handle and have a consistent weight.
In a saucepan, combine **the cherries and sugar**. Heat the mixture over medium heat for **3 to 4 minutes**, stirring occasionally until the cherries are soft.
Once softened, **blend the cherry mixture** until smooth, then add the **cherry juice** and mix well.
Pour the mixture into an **ice cube tray** and place it in the fridge to **set for about 3-4 hours**.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine **the matcha powder** with **boiling water**. Stir thoroughly to avoid any lumps, creating a smooth paste.
Pour the matcha mixture into a glass and **add cold milk** to it, stirring gently to combine all ingredients.
Step 3
Once the jelly balls have set, remove them from the ice cube tray and place them at the bottom of a glass. Pour the **matcha mixture** over the jelly balls.
Your **Cherry Bubble Tea** is now ready to enjoy! Serve immediately and indulge in this delightful mix of flavors and textures.
