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.
