How to Matcha

By Tenkujima

Prep

Sift 2g of matcha into a bowl. Add a small splash of warm water first and stir into a smooth paste. Clumps are not part of the ritual.

Whisk

Add the rest of the warm water, about 60ml total, then whisk briskly in a quick W motion until a soft foam appears.

Enjoy

Drink it as usucha, pour it over ice, or add milk for a latte. There are traditions, yes — but no matcha police.
