Matcha This is a unique Japanese powdered tea that requires a slightly different preparation than traditional infusions. Properly prepared Matcha It should be smooth, intensely green, and slightly creamy.
Step 1 – Sift the matcha
Sift 1–2 grams of matcha (approx. half a teaspoon) into a bowl. This will prevent lumps.
Step 2 – Add water
Pour in approximately 70ml of water at 70-80°C. Water that is too hot will make the matcha bitter.
Step 3 – Whisk the matcha
Using a bamboo whisk (chasen), mix vigorously in an „M” shape. After a few seconds, a fine foam should appear.
Step 4 – Finished
Your matcha is ready to drink. You can add more water or milk if you prefer a milder flavour.
