Keyword: Matcha Tea, Matcha Tea Recipe
Servings: 1 serving
- ½ teaspoon matcha powder
- ¼ cup hot water
- 1 cup additional hot water
- Optional: honey, maple syrup, or other sweetener to taste
Sift. Sift the matcha (to remove any lumps) into a mug or small bowl.
Whisk. Pour the ¼ cup of hot water into the mug and use a matcha whisk to whisk vigorously in a "W" pattern for about 30 seconds, until frothy. Alternatively, you can use an electric frother.
Fill up the mug. Add the remaining hot water and enjoy. Sweeten to taste, if desired.
- If it's summertime, you can also make iced matcha tea. After you've made the matcha tea, chill it in the fridge, then pour it over ice in a glass. It's refreshing! And if you want to get extra fancy, you could make this iced matcha and salted caramel latte.
- Also, the glass matcha bowl I use in the video above isn't as big in real life as it looks on video, lol!
