Follow these steps to create your Matcha Pudding:

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the matcha powder, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt until fully combined.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling.
3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually whisk the dry mixture into the warm milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to whisk until smooth.
4. Thicken the Mixture: Keep cooking the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
5. Add Vanilla: Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
6. Cool: Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a single bowl. Let it cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes before transferring it to the fridge.
7. Chill: Cover the pudding with plastic wrap (to prevent a skin from forming) and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
8. Serve: Once set, top with whipped cream and fresh berries if desired.

These clear and concise steps will guide you through the process of making this incredible Matcha Pudding, ensuring a delightful outcome.
