1
Prepare the Matcha
In a small bowl, sift 2 teaspoons of matcha powder to remove any lumps.
2
Add Hot Water
Heat 1 cup of water to just below boiling (about 175°F or 80°C). Pour the hot water into the bowl with the sifted matcha powder.
3
Whisk the Mixture
Using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a milk frother, whisk the mixture vigorously in a 'W' motion until the matcha is fully dissolved and frothy.
4
Sweeten the Matcha (Optional)
If you prefer your matcha sweetened, add 1 teaspoon of your chosen sweetener (like honey, agave, or sugar) and whisk again until combined.
5
Add Milk (Optional)
For a creamier texture, you can add 1 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based) to the whisked matcha. Stir gently to combine.
6
Serve Hot or Iced
For hot matcha, serve immediately in a mug. For iced matcha, pour the matcha over a glass filled with ice and enjoy.
