Gather a matcha bowl (or any small bowl), a matcha whisk (chasen), and a matcha spoon (chashaku) or a regular teaspoon.
Measure the Matcha:
Use the matcha spoon to scoop 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder into the bowl. Adjust the amount based on your taste preference.
Add Water:
Pour a small amount of hot water (about 70-80°C or 158-176°F) into the bowl. Using water that is too hot can make the matcha taste bitter.
Whisk the Matcha:
Hold the matcha whisk with your dominant hand. Whisk the matcha in a “W” or “M” motion until it becomes frothy. This should take about 15-20 seconds. The goal is to create a smooth, creamy texture with a layer of foam on top.
Enjoy Your Matcha:
Sip the matcha directly from the bowl. Take a moment to appreciate the rich, umami flavor and the calming ritual of preparing and drinking matcha.
Customize Your Drink:
For a personalized touch, you can add a splash of milk or a sweetener of your choice. Matcha powder can also be blended into smoothies, lattes, or used in baking for a nutritious boost.
Clean and Store Your Tools:
Rinse the matcha bowl and whisk with warm water. Avoid using soap on the whisk to preserve its natural bamboo fibers. Store the matcha powder in a cool, dry place, preferably in an airtight container to maintain its freshness.
