Making matcha at home is a simple yet rewarding process that can easily be integrated into your daily routine. It’s not just about making a delicious cup of tea—it’s also about creating a mindful moment that allows you to slow down and connect with yourself. Here’s a beginner-friendly guide to making matcha at home.
Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Matcha
- Add two scoops of matcha into your bowl using your chashaku (or one teaspoon). Remember to sift the matcha directly into the bowl for a smooth texture;
- Pour approximately 90ml of hot water into the bowl from the sides;
- Clear any stuck matcha, then gently whisk in an "M" shape to foam up, gradually increasing speed. Finish with circular whisking and lift the chasen from the middle for a creamy texture;
- Take a moment to savour your matcha and appreciate the tranquility of the ritual.
Tips for the Perfect Matcha
To get the best flavor and health benefits, always opt for high-quality matcha powder. Adjust the amount of matcha and water to match your taste preference, and for a creamier experience, try making a matcha latte by adding warm milk instead of water.
