How to prepare a cup of matcha

TIPS

• some like it light, others prefer it strong and add very little water for a more intense taste. Instead of water, you can also mix your matcha with juice, milk or other dairy free drinks . Matcha can also be prepared in a shaker, hot or cold . Just pour in a dose of matcha, close the shaker and shake it vigorously several times. If you don't have a shaker, a bottle of water will do!
• Do not add more than 10cl of hot water before beating with the whisk or the milk frother: adding too much water prevents foam from forming. Add water to your liking once the foam has formed.
• The water should be around 80 ° to preserve the softness and lightness of the matcha. Boiling water releases the tannins in the tea, making it more bitter.
• To clean your bamboo tools, simply rinse them with water without using soap. The bamboo chasen whisk can be stored on a whisk holder to prevent it from deforming.
