Preparing matcha, a simple and powerful ritual.
A good matcha begins with a moment of calm. Here's how to easily prepare it at home:
1. Sift 1 to 2g of matcha into a bowl
This prevents lumps and gives a smooth texture.
2. Add 60 to 80ml of hot water (70-80°C)
Not boiling! Too hot, and the benefits are reduced.
3. Whisk briskly in a W or M shape
With a bamboo whisk (chasen) until you obtain a fine foam.
4. Breathe. Savor slowly.
Matcha isn't just a drink. It's a moment.
What you need:
-
Quality Matcha (Machilo, of course)
-
A matcha bowl (chawan)
-
A bamboo whisk (chasen)
-
A small colander
Bonus tip:
You can also prepare it cold, as an iced matcha latte or with plant-based milk for a creamy version.
