How To Make Matcha
Learn how to make matcha at home with this simple step-by-step method. I’ll show you how to prepare the chawan, sift the matcha, and whisk it for a smooth cup with a fine layer of foam.
Servings: 1 person
Ingredients
- hot water for warming the chawan
- 4 g matcha powder
- 120 ml hot water 70℃ -80℃ (158°F-176°F)
Instructions
- Pour some hot water into the chawan. Swirl it around to warm the bowl, then discard the water.
- Wipe the inside of the chawan dry with a paper towel.
- Place a fine-mesh sieve over the chawan and sift in the matcha powder. Gently tap or shake the sieve to remove any lumps.
- Pour in the hot water. Using a bamboo whisk, whisk quickly in a W or M-shaped motion for 15 to 20 seconds, until a layer of fine foam forms on the surface.
- Give the chawan a gentle swirl, then transfer the matcha to your cup and enjoy it right away.
