Recipe: How to Prepare Matcha

Beverages
HOW TO PREPARE MATCHA

"Matcha, a green tea in which the leaves have been ground to a fine powder, is at the center of the Japanese tea ceremony. To make it, you will need a tea bowl, a fine-mesh strainer, a bamboo whisk, and a tea scoop."



Here are the basic instructions for each cup:

Measure 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons Matcha.

Set the strainer over the bowl and gently sift the tea through the strainer into the bowl. This keeps the tea from clumping and helps to achieve a nice foam on the top.

Pour about 1/3 cup/75 ml hot water (about 165 degrees F/74C) over the tea.

Begin whisking the tea briskly back and forth in the bowl. When foam begins to develop, slowly lift the whisk from the bowl and enjoy the tea.

"Sweet Tea Concentrate is so much easier to keep in the refrigerator - or take along with you to family reunions! The baking soda makes the tea less bitter and keeps it from becoming cloudy." - From: Add a Pinch
