Matcha Recipe

Matcha Preparation

1. 1

   Sift the Matcha

   Using a fine sieve, sift the matcha powder into a small bowl to eliminate any clumps.

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.

3. 3

   Whisk the Matcha

   Using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a small electric frother, whisk the matcha and water together in a zig-zag motion until frothy and well combined.

4. 4

   Prepare Milk

   In a separate container, warm the milk or non-dairy alternative over low heat. If desired, froth the milk using a frother or whisk until it reaches a creamy texture.

5. 5

   Combine Ingredients

   In a glass, combine the whisked matcha with the warmed milk. Stir in your choice of sweetener to taste.

6. 6

   Serve Over Ice

   If you prefer an iced matcha, fill a glass with ice cubes before pouring in the matcha and milk mixture. Stir well to combine.
