Step 1

To preserve the health benefits of matcha, also known as powder matcha, the water temperature must not be too hot. Start by heating water in a stovetop or electric kettle. Heat to a simmer, the temperature should be about 175 F°.

Step 2

Pour out the water and dry, before placing your sifter (furui) over the matcha bowl. Use your bamboo scoop (chashaku), measure out 3 scoops of the matcha green tea powder, and sift.

Step 3

Then, add 1/4cup of the heated water and whisk the matcha powder to create a froth by using a back and forth whisking action.

Step 4

Now, sip and enjoy!
