How to Make Matcha
A simple step-by-step guide to making smooth, frothy Japanese matcha at home.
What you need
- 1 to 2 g ceremonial matcha
- 70 to 80°C water
- Matcha bowl
- Bamboo whisk
- Sieve
Step 1: Sift the matcha
Sift the powder into your bowl to remove clumps and create a smoother texture.
Step 2: Add warm water
Add a small amount of water first, then whisk. Water that is too hot can make the tea taste harsh.
Step 3: Whisk in a zigzag motion
Use a quick W or zigzag motion until a thin foam appears on the surface.
Step 4: Serve immediately
Matcha tastes best right after whisking.
Matcha latte option
If you want a latte, add steamed or cold milk after the whisking step.
