1
Sift the matcha
Using a small sifter or fine mesh strainer, sift the matcha powder into a small bowl or matcha whisking bowl to prevent clumps.
2
Whisk the matcha
Add the hot water to the sifted matcha. Using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or small regular whisk, whisk briskly in a zigzag (M or W) motion until the matcha is fully dissolved and a light froth forms on top.

3
Heat the milk
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Alternatively, microwave in a microwave-safe container for 1–2 minutes.
4
Froth the milk
Froth the milk using a milk frother, handheld whisk, or by shaking it vigorously in a jar with a lid (then reheating slightly if needed).
5
Sweeten the milk
If using a sweetener, stir it into the hot milk until fully dissolved.

6
Combine and serve
Pour the whisked matcha into a mug. Slowly pour the steamed milk over the matcha, holding back the foam with a spoon if desired. Spoon the foam on top. Optional: sprinkle a small pinch of matcha powder on top for garnish. Serve immediately.
