Matcha Recipe

Matcha Preparation

1. 1

   Sift the Matcha Powder

   Using a fine mesh sieve, sift 2 teaspoons of matcha green tea powder into a bowl. This helps to avoid clumps and ensures a smooth drink.

2. 2

   Add Hot Water

   Heat water to just below boiling (about 80°C or 175°F). Pour 60 ml of hot water over the sifted matcha powder in the bowl.

3. 3

   Whisk the Mixture

   Using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a regular whisk, whisk the matcha and water together in a zigzag motion until it is frothy and well-combined. This should take about 30 seconds.

4. 4

   Optional: Prepare Matcha Latte

   If you prefer a matcha latte, heat 120 ml of milk separately (dairy or plant-based) and froth it. Pour the frothed milk into the matcha mixture and stir gently.

5. 5

   Sweeten to Taste

   Add your choice of sweetener (honey, sugar, or syrup) to the matcha drink, stirring until dissolved. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.

6. 6

   Serve

   Pour the matcha into a cup or bowl. Enjoy your matcha hot or iced, as preferred.
