Matcha is finely ground green tea. You drink the whole leaf, not an infusion.

Preparation is simple. A few details make the difference between flat and alive.

What you need

2-3g matcha

50 ml hot water

A whisk or small milk frother

A bowl or cup

Milk of choice - but you can also drink it pure

Step by step

  1. Sift the matcha into a bowl to prevent clumps.
  2. Add a small amount of hot water, around 70–80Β°C.
  3. Whisk quickly in a zigzag motion until fine foam forms.
  4. Add milk of choice if you want. Drink immediately.

Texture note: Foam is not the goal - texture is. A good matcha feels smooth and light, never heavy or chalky.

Troubleshooting

If it tastes bitter β†’ water too hot.

If it clumps β†’ sift.

If it feels flat β†’ use more matcha.
