Matcha Tea Recipe
Preparation time – 5 mins
Ingredients
- 1g Ishoku Organic Japanese Matcha Green Tea Powder – Ceremonial Grade – (1½ heaped scoops)
- 50-60 ml filtered hot water (approximately 70-80°C)
- Extra hot water to warm the bowl
Tools
Method
- Preheat the bowl thoroughly with hot water, then empty it and dry it carefully with a cloth. Use the bamboo tea scoop to measure 1½ heaped scoops of Matcha powder and place in the center of the bowl.
- Pour approximately 50-60ml of hot water into the bowl. Make sure the temperature of the water is approximately 70-80°C, not boiling.
- Take the bamboo whisk in one hand and hold the rim of the Matcha bowl with the other. Whisk the Matcha briskly in a ‘M’ motion using your wrist (not your arm).
- When a thick froth with many tiny bubbles has developed on the surface, slowly lift the bamboo whisk from the centre of the bowl.
- Taste a little bit to see if you’re happy with the strength of the Matcha. Add more water according to your taste and savor the deliciously smooth flavour of Matcha.
