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 70–80°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 → water too hot.

If it clumps → sift.

If it feels flat → use more matcha.
