preparation
the art of brewing your perfect cup of matcha is as simple as following a few important steps.
- always use cold water. bottled spring water or purified water is best.
- bring water to a gentle boil
- pour 2 oz of the hot water into a ceramic mug. use more water if you prefer a more diluted matcha. this process serves to cool the water to approx. 80 c or 176 f.
- place two matcha bamboo scoops or 1/2 a teaspoon of matcha green tea into a matcha bowl or a round cappuccino mug or soup bowl.
- take the cooled water from the ceramic mug and pour it into the bowl with the matcha in it.
- whisk the tea with a bamboo whisk until a fine froth develops. usually 15 seconds is more than sufficient. (note: do not grind the whisk against the container. just a light, back and forth motion is sufficient, as the prongs of the whisk will do all the work. small lumps at the bottom of the bowl are not uncommon.)
- enjoy your health-giving matcha now, or add more hot water for a more diluted beverage.
