  • 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.

Notes

  • 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!
