Step 1.
Heat your matcha bowl by adding very hot water and allowing it to sit for a few minutes. Then, empty and DRY COMPLETELY.
Step 2.
With special bamboo tea spoon, add 1 1/2 ~ 1 3/4 spoon fulls of thin matcha to the bowl. We like to sift it through a screen for a more consistant, frothier brew, but this is optional. Note: If you are using a regular teaspoon instead of the traditional Japanese bamboo matcha spoon, only add about 1/4 of a teaspoon!
Step 3.
Add about 1/2 cup of hot water with a temperature of about 175F/80C.
Important: This is somewhat less than boiling.
Step 4.
Wet your tea whisk. Next, whisk briskly in a "W" shaped pattern for a minute or two until the matcha froths to a nice green colored foam.
Modern Matcha Preparation
If you do not have a whisk, use a fork to briskly whisk the Matcha in hot water until it froths.
Another great modern way to make Matcha is use a blender on low speed for about 30 to 45 seconds or until it froths to your liking.
