Let's start by how to make the perfect Japanese Matcha.
Japanese Matcha
In terms of ingredients, you'll need:
- Boiled water
- Japanese Ceremonial Matcha
- Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a clean, descaled water kettle,
- Once water has boiled let sit for 20-30 seconds until the water has calmed,
- Use your bamboo scoop to measure 1 scoop of Organic Japanese Matcha into your bowl,
- Whisk in an 'S' pattern until the powder dissolves in the water and small bubbles begin forming a froth,
- Enjoy directly from your ceremonial bowl or pour into your favourite mug.
Watch the instructional video below and follow along.
If a latte is more you're thing...
Matcha Latte
Follow the tutorial in how to make a traditional Matcha, then add your favourite milk or milk-alternative of choice. 1 part milk to 3 parts Matcha beverage.
Ideally, if you have a milk warmer and frother - you can create some latte art too.
Iced Matcha
For a light, refreshing energy lift, make your Japanese Matcha as instructed above including with boiled water and pour over ice in a tall glass.
You can make this an iced Matcha latte as well by adding your favourite cold milk or milk-alternative beverage. Follow similar ratios as a hot latte (see above) with 1 part milk to 3 parts Matcha beverage.
Japanese Ceremonial Matcha of high quality, like our Organic Matcha should not ever taste bitter.
You can sweeten your Matcha beverage with 1/2 tsp honey, but we strongly recommend you savour the natural smooth taste.
