Usucha (Thin Matcha)
- Sift Matcha: Use 2 g (0.07 oz) of matcha powder, equivalent to 1.5 heaping tea ladles or 1 level teaspoon.
- Add Hot Water: Pour 60 mL (2 oz) of hot water at a temperature of about 80°C (176°F). To achieve this, first pour boiling water into a teacup to cool it down to the desired temperature, then pour it into the tea bowl.
- Whisk: Vigorously whisk the mixture for about 15 seconds, making an "M" shape with the whisk. This creates a light, frothy layer on top of the tea
Iced Matcha
- Sift Matcha: Sift 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder into a bowl to remove lumps.
- Whisk with Water: Add 60 mL of hot water (around 80°C) and whisk until smooth and frothy.
- Sweeten: Optionally, add sweetener to taste and whisk to combine.
- Ice it: Fill a glass with ice and pour the matcha over it.
- Add Milk: For a creamier drink, mix in milk or a milk alternative (optional)
- Serve: Enjoy the refreshing iced matcha immediately.
