Matcha Green Tea Shaved Ice with Cute Mochi Balls

It's boiling hot outside! So I created a chilled dessert that'll cool me from within.

If you mix the dry ingredients all together, the mochi balls will become stiff, so add water to adjust the texture. If you plan to shape the mochi balls into characters, it's best if the dough is slightly on the softer side. Shape the dough on a sheet of parchment paper, then drop it into a pot of boiling water.
