Water Chestnut and Macha Jelly

This recipe required slightly more work than the Macha Konnyaku Jelly. With water chestnut puree added, it makes this dessert more nutritious. To boost the intake of fibre, you may double the amount of water chestnut used, if desired. With green tea powder added to only half of the jelly mixture to form the lower layer, it gives this jelly two different colours and thus making it more attractive.
