STEP 1
New tin!
Open your tin, take out the sealed pouch, and pour all the matcha into the tin.
Tip: Once opened, keep it tightly closed and store it in the refrigerator.
STEP 2
New Chasen!
Place the chasen (bamboo whisk) in a bowl of hot water (not boiling) for 30–60 seconds.
This softens the tines and helps prevent them from breaking while whisking.
STEP 3
Add the matcha and water
Add 3 g of matcha and 30 ml of hot water (70–80 °C) to the chawan.
STEP 4
OPTIONAL
Add 10 g of agave syrup.
STEP 5
Whisk with energy
Whisk vigorously with the chasen in a W or M motion for 15–25 seconds, lightly brushing the bottom.
Goal: dissolve any clumps and create a fine foam on the surface.
STEP 6
Enjoy your matcha
Add 150–200 ml of milk to the matcha.
