How to Prepare Matcha
Preparing matcha is a simple ritual that can be enjoyed every day. Follow these steps for the perfect cup:
- Sift: Sift 1–2 teaspoons of matcha powder into a bowl to remove clumps.
- Add Water: Pour 60–70ml of hot water (not boiling — around 70–80°C) over the matcha.
- Whisk: Using a bamboo whisk (chasen), whisk in a brisk W or M motion until frothy.
- Enjoy: Drink immediately for the best flavour and freshness.
Tip: For a matcha latte, add steamed milk or your favourite plant-based milk after whisking.
