Make Matcha Tea (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Matcha Base
01 -
2 ounces of hot water (about 175°F)
02 -
¼ teaspoon premium matcha powder
→ Additions
03 -
Maple syrup or honey for sweetness (optional)
04 -
6 ounces of warm water or frothed milk (oat, almond, coconut, regular, etc.)
# Instructions:
01 -
Run the matcha powder through a small fine strainer over a bowl or mug. This simple step helps you avoid lumps for a creamier sip.
02 -
Add 2 ounces of hot water (about 175°F). Using a bamboo whisk or any small whisk you have, whip it quickly side to side until the matcha looks completely mixed and foamy at the top.
03 -
Pour in the remaining 6 ounces of hot water or a milk of your choice. Give it another whisk until it's nice and frothy. Taste it—if it's too strong, you can gently sweeten it with honey or maple syrup.
# Notes:
01 -
Some types of matcha have a stronger bitter flavor. If you're just starting out or your matcha is extra strong, a little sweetener can really balance it out.
02 -
For the best taste, keep your water around 175°F (79°C). Boiling water has a way of making matcha harsher.
03 -
Whisking from side to side isn't just traditional—it creates the fluffiest foam and blends everything smoothly.
