Steps

  1. In two separate bowls, combine the ingredients for each matcha mixture.
  2. Fill a water balloon pump with one of the mixtures until it is around the size of an egg, then use it to fill up a water balloon to your desired size. Tie the balloons closed and let cool in the refrigerator until the gelatin has solidified.
