How to Whisk Matcha
Report
A simple tutorial on how to whisk a bowl of pure matcha green tea.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 tsp. organic matcha powder (ceremonial grade)
- 5 oz. water (about 2/3 cup)
Instructions
- Measure 1 teaspoon matcha powder in a tea bowl.*
- Heat 5 oz. water (about 2/3 cup) just under boiling, around 160°F (71°C).
- Carefully pour hot water in the bowl with matcha powder.
- Using a bamboo whisk (holding it vertically from the top) stir a few times to make sure all the matcha clumps are off the bottom and side of the bowl.
- Then whisk very briskly back and forth in a straight line for about 20-30 seconds. (Take care not to scrape the bottom of the bowl with the delicate bamboo prongs.)
- Finish by whisking in a slower zig-zag pattern to calm the waves and create delicate “micro foam”.
- Rinse your whisk, and set it upright on the counter for next time (or on a whisk holder if you have one).
Notes
- *Bowl: Since you’ll whisk vigorously to achieve the froth, it’s best to use a wide and deep enough bowl. (If you don’t have a matcha bowl, a soup bowl works great.)
- Matcha quality: Be sure to use a good quality organic matcha powder with bright green color.
