Preparation Time: 5 minutes / Makes: 2
Ingredients
- 10g Matcha green tea powder
- 140ml hot water, 70°C
- sieve
- whisk or matcha whisk
Method
- Run your mixing bowl under hot tap water and then dry thoroughly.
- Sieve your matcha green tea powder into your mixing bowl.
- Lightly break up the powder with your whisk.
- Add a third of the water and mix into a smooth paste. This will minimize lumps.
- Add the remaining water and stir in a circular motion alternating with a “w” shape to provide a nice layer of froth.
Notes
When we first came across the matcha whisks we were a little skeptical about whether it was worth buying one. After trying to make matcha tea with and without one you can see the value in it; they stop the matcha clumping. Even with the whisk I would still recommend sifting the matcha before using it.
