How to Make Matcha Step 1: Prepare your tools -Bring water to a boil, then cool it by pouring it into a bowl or cup. -Sift your matcha through a fine mesh strainer to remove any clumps. -Warm your tea bowl and Chasen with hot water, then dry. Step 2: Add the Matcha -Sift 2 Chashaku tea scoops (about 2 grams) of matcha into your warm tea bowl. Step 3: Add a Small Amount of Water -Prepare 70 ml of hot water cooled to 158–176°F. -Pour a small splash into the bowl and whisk gently to dissolve the matcha. Step 4: Whisk to Create Froth -Add the rest of the water. -Move your wrist back and forth quickly in a zigzag motion to build froth. -Then slow down to smooth the surface. -If large bubbles appear, lightly break them with the tips of the whisk. Step 5: Enjoy Your Matcha -The finer the foam, the smoother the matcha tastes. -Sip slowly. It pairs beautifully with a small sweet treat.
-Before first use, soak tips in warm water for 1–2 minutes to soften. -After each use, rinse gently with warm water (no soap). -Shake off excess water and air-dry upright to maintain shape.
