Coconut matcha pudding

Confession: I'm kind of obsessed with chia seeds. And matcha. That's what happens when you work at a natural foods co-op for too long, I suppose. Here's a fix for your sweet tooth that's pretty legitimately good for you.  Because I love you.  


 Coconut matcha pudding 

3 cups coconut milk beverage (not the can, but the carton)
2/3 c chia seed
2 T agave syrup
2 t matcha powder
1 t vanilla extract

In a saucepan, heat the coconut milk until steaming.  Whisk in the matcha, agave, and vanilla.  

Pour into a large glass jar and add the chia seeds.  
Shake well.    
After about four hours, the chia seeds will have absorbed most of the liquid.  
Serve cold.

Makes about six servings.
