- Sweetness
- ½ tsp lightly sweet, 1 tsp balanced, 2 tsp sweet.
Four Ways to Mix
Electric Whisk or Frother
Quickest, smoothest foam
Add the matcha and water to your cup. Hold an electric whisk or milk frother near the bottom and run it for about 10 seconds, slowly lifting it toward the surface. Then add your milk and sweeten to taste. For a café-style latte, froth the milk too.
Chasen
The traditional bamboo whisk
Add the matcha and water to a bowl or wide mug. Whisk briskly back and forth in a zigzag rather than in circles for about 15 seconds, until it’s smooth with a light foam on top. Then pour in your milk and sweeten to taste.
Shake
Best for iced
Add the matcha, water, milk, your sweetener and a few ice cubes to a shaker bottle or jar. Seal it tightly and shake hard for 10 to 15 seconds, then pour it straight into a glass.
Stir
No tools needed
Start with just a splash of the water and stir it into a smooth paste, pressing any clumps against the side of the cup with the back of the spoon. Then stir in the rest of the water, your milk and your sweetener.
Make it by feel
The measurements are a great place to start. Once you have a feel for it, try eyeballing it instead. It’s quicker, and every cup comes out exactly the way you like it.
Tips
Matcha is a fine powder that suspends rather than dissolves. Mixing it with a little water first breaks up clumps, so the milk blends in smooth.
Water around 175°F mixes matcha quickly and brings out its smooth, naturally sweet flavor. Boiling water scalds the delicate tea and draws out bitterness. No thermometer? Let freshly boiled water rest for a couple of minutes.
1 tsp (2g) is the same as one stick. A whisk or frother gives the smoothest cup.
Each stick is sealed, so it stays fresh until you open it. Keep your pack somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight.
