How To Make Matcha
Step One: Ground
Bring yourself into the present moment and focus your awareness on the tools before you: water heated to 180°F, matcha, whisking bowl, sifter, scoop, whisk, and whisk stand.
Step Two: Scoop
Using your scoop, place one scoop of matcha into your bowl. Add 2 ounces of 180°F water into the whisking bowl.
Step Three: Whisk
With your bamboo whisk, begin briskly whisking the matcha and water mixture. Move the whisk in a zig-zag pattern to create froth. Continue whisking until the matcha is thoroughly mixed into the water and no clumps remain. At this point, there should be a nice froth created on top.
Step Four: Pour
Pour your matcha into a drinking vessel filled with 6 ounces of 180°F water or your choice of warm or cold milk. Now, sip soundly and enjoy.
