Divide among eight small serving cups or bowls and refrigerate, uncovered, until set, about 3 hours.

4. Whisk the green tea powder and lemon juice into the gelatin mixture and continue whisking until the green tea powder dissolves completely. Strain the mixture through a finemesh sieve. Divide among eight small serving cups or bowls and refrigerate, uncovered, until set, about 3 hours.

5. To make the raspberry pudding: Put the raspberries, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan, set over medium heat, and cook, stirring, until thick and syrupy, 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the gelatin, and stir until dissolved. Stir in the cream and lemon juice.
