Matcha Bowl
- Bring 2.5oz filtered or freshly drawn water to a rolling boil and set aside and let cool to roughly 180ºF.
- Scoop (and sift) 1 tsp (approx 1.5g) matcha powder into your matcha bowl (if using a bamboo matcha spoon, scoop two heaping scoops into your matcha bowl).
- Pour hot water into your matcha bowl.
- Begin slowly mixing water and matcha powder with a bamboo chasen (tea whisk).
- Raise the chasen a bit and whisk vigorously, back and forth in a “Z” or “W” shape, to create froth.
- Raise the chasen (tea whisk) to the surface and gently whisk, creating a creamy foam.
- By adding a few ice cubes, you can turn your warm matcha into an iced version. (see below for iced latte instructions!)
- You can also dilute with additional water for a lighter flavor.
