Recipe: How to Prepare Matcha
BeveragesHOW 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.
