Preparing good matcha is not complicated. The small details make the difference: water temperature, sifting, whisking and the quality of the powder.
What you need
- Ceremonial matcha.
- Hot water, not boiling.
- A chasen or small whisk.
- A bowl or wide cup.
How to prepare ceremonial matcha
Sift the matcha, add a small amount of hot water and whisk quickly in a W shape until a light foam appears. Add more water if you want a longer drink.
How to prepare a matcha latte
Prepare the matcha base first, then add warm or cold milk. For a creamier texture, froth the milk before pouring it over the matcha.
