For matcha, you whisk green tea powder with 80°C (176°F) water until frothy. The tea is vivid green and tastes grassy with a mild bitterness. You need a bowl and a bamboo whisk for it.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 75 ml hot water (about 80°C / 176°F)
Instructions
- Sift the matcha powder into a matcha bowl to prevent lumps.
- Pour the hot water directly over the matcha powder in the bowl.
- Use a bamboo whisk (chasen) to whisk the tea. Move the whisk quickly in a "W" or "M" shape to build a creamy layer of foam.
- Keep whisking until the tea is frothy and no lumps of powder are visible.
- Drink the matcha right away, before the powder settles.
