1
Sift the Matcha Powder
Using a fine mesh sieve, sift the 2 teaspoons of matcha powder into a bowl to remove any clumps.
2
Add Hot Water
Boil water and let it cool slightly (about 175°F or 80°C). Pour 1 cup of hot water into the bowl with the sifted matcha powder.
3
Whisk the Mixture
Using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a regular whisk, vigorously whisk the matcha and hot water together in a zigzag motion until you achieve a frothy consistency.
4
Sweeten (Optional)
If desired, add 1 teaspoon of sweetener to the matcha mixture and whisk until fully dissolved.
5
Add Milk (Optional)
For a creamier texture, steam or heat 1 cup of milk or a milk alternative and pour it into the matcha mixture. Stir gently to combine.
6
Serve
Pour the matcha into a serving cup and enjoy your freshly prepared matcha tea.
