Instructions
-
Bring about 1 cup of water to a near boil. Reserve 1/4 to 1/2 cup, then use the remainder to warm the matcha bowl and soak the bamboo whisk for 30 seconds. Discard this water and dry the bowl.
-
Place a fine-mesh strainer over the bowl and sift 2 to 4 scoops of matcha into it.
-
Pour a couple of tablespoons of the reserved water (cooled to about 175 F) over the matcha.
-
Grasping the whisk, gently whisk in circles to dissolve all matcha and eliminate clumps.
-
Add the remaining reserved water to the bowl and whisk in a "W" pattern until a fine, tiny-bubbled foam covers the surface.
-
Drink the matcha directly from the bowl or pour it into a small cup immediately.
