👨🍳 Cooking Instructions
Full recipe instructions for preparing Matcha
🔥 Prep
- Measure out 1 tsp of matcha powder and place it in a dry tea bowl (chawan).
- Heat 100 ml of water to approximately 80°C (just below boiling) and have it ready.
🔥 Cook
- 1. Add a small splash (about 20 ml) of the hot water to the matcha powder and, using a bamboo whisk (chasen), stir gently to form a smooth paste, breaking up any clumps (~10 seconds).
- 2. Pour the remaining 80 ml of hot water into the bowl.
- 3. Whisk briskly in a quick “W” or “M” motion until a fine froth forms on the surface, about 15-20 seconds of vigorous whisking (until frothy).
🔥 Serve
- Serve the matcha immediately in the pre-warmed chawan while it is still hot and frothy.
- Optionally accompany with a small sweet (wagashi) such as mochi or yokan to balance the bitterness.
- Enjoy mindfully, sipping slowly to appreciate the umami and vegetal notes.
