Instructions

In a heavy stockpot with tall sides, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add a few popcorn kernels. Once they’ve popped, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter and the remaining popcorn kernels. Stir.

Sprinkle the sugar over the top. Cover the pot with a lid, and gently shake the pot until most of the kernels are popped, about 1-2 seconds between pops.

Immediately pour the popcorn into a medium-sized, heat-proof bowl or container with a lid. Sprinkle the matcha powder and salt over the popcorn. Place the lid on bowl or container, and shake until the matcha is evenly distributed. (You can also use a large brown paper bag if you don’t have a container with a lid!). Let cool (the sugar will be hot!). Happy snacking!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Sift Matcha Before Adding 🍵
Sift your matcha powder through a fine-mesh strainer before mixing it with sugar to eliminate lumps and ensure smooth, even distribution throughout the popcorn.
Use a Lid to Control Popping 🍿
Cover your pot with a lid once kernels begin popping to trap steam and heat, resulting in more uniform popping and fewer unpopped kernels at the bottom.
Toast Matcha-Sugar Mixture Briefly 🔥
Heat your matcha-sugar blend in the butter for 20-30 seconds before adding popcorn to bloom the matcha's flavor and prevent the powder from tasting raw or chalky.
Coat Immediately While Hot ✨
Toss the popcorn with your matcha butter mixture while it's still steaming hot to ensure the coating adheres evenly and creates a light, crispy texture rather than clumping.
Spread on Parchment to Cool 📄
Spread coated popcorn on parchment paper in a single layer to cool, which prevents sticking and allows the matcha coating to set properly for optimal crunchiness.
