Matcha
1. Heat water
Bring water to a near-boil, then let it rest until it cools to about 80°C (175°F). If you don't have a thermometer, bring to a boil and wait ~5 minutes.
2. Preheat bowl
Pour a little hot water into the matcha bowl, swirl to warm the bowl, then discard and dry the bowl with a clean towel. This helps keep the matcha warm and fragrant.
3. Sift matcha
Place 1 tsp (approx. 1 gram depending on powder density) of ceremonial-grade matcha into a small sieve over the bowl and gently tap the sieve so the powder falls into the bowl. Sifting removes clumps for a smoother whisk.
4. Add water
Pour 60 ml (about 2 fl oz) of the 80°C water into the bowl with the sifted matcha.
Optional — Matcha Latte (Hot)
7. Prepare a concentrated matcha as above but use 30–45 ml hot water to make a thicker paste. Heat or steam 150 ml milk of choice until hot and slightly frothy. Pour the milk into the prepared matcha, holding back foam with a spoon, then spoon foam on top. Sweeten to taste (about 1 tsp) and stir gently.
Optional — Iced Matcha
