1
Prepare the Matcha
In a small bowl, sift the matcha powder to remove any clumps.
2
Add Hot Water
Heat water to just below boiling (about 175°F or 80°C). Pour 1 cup of hot water over the sifted matcha powder.
3
Whisk the Mixture
Using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a small whisk, whisk the matcha and water together in a zigzag motion until the mixture is frothy and well combined. This should take about 30 seconds.
4
Sweeten to Taste
If desired, add sweetener to taste and whisk again to incorporate.
5
Optional Milk Addition
If you prefer a creamier drink, heat the milk or milk alternative separately and then pour it into the matcha mixture. Whisk again to blend.
6
Serve
Pour the matcha tea into a cup and enjoy your freshly made matcha tea.
