Print Recipe
Equipment
- Glass or cup
- Jar with lid Or any other recipient you can close (e.g. a bottle or a cocktail shaker)
Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon* Matcha powder (1 gr.)
- 2.7 oz. Water (80 ml.)
Instructions
- Put the matcha powder in a recipient you can close tightly.
- Add the water**, close the recipient and shake vigorously for some seconds, until there are no clumps. Enjoy freshly made.**Traditionally matcha is made with water at 75℃～85℃ (167ºF ～185ºF ), but you can also prepare it with room temperature or cold water.
Notes
* This measurements make for the so called “usucha” (“thin” tea).
If you prefer your matcha thicker (“koicha”), you may double the amount of tea (1 teaspoon -2 gr-) for the same amount of water.
Just take into consideration that “koicha” might taste too intense for the majority of people.
Also, if you decide to make “koicha”, I recommend using high quality ceremonial grade matcha; otherwise, it might taste too strong.
