Step-by-Step Preparation
Let the water cool: Bring the water to a boil and let it cool to about 70 °C to 80 °C (wait about 5–10 minutes with the kettle lid open).
Sift the powder (optional, but recommended): Sift 1 to 2 bamboo spoons of matcha powder through a fine sieve directly into the bowl. This prevents clumps and ensures a finer foam.
Add water: Pour about 70–80 ml of the cooled water over the powder.
Whisking & Foaming:
Take the bamboo whisk and move it quickly with a wrist motion in an M or W pattern (do not stir in a circular motion!).
After about 15–30 seconds, a fine-textured, jade-green foam will form.
Enjoy: Carefully lift the whisk out of the bowl and drink the matcha immediately while it’s fresh.
