fool proof tips to making the best matcha at home 🍵🩷
- ensure the water you use is around 75°-80° so you don’t burn the matcha - you can wait for your water to cool down or add a splash of cold water to the boiling water
- make sure you soak your chasen before using otherwise the bristles will snap + break and it helps create a smoother foam
- make sure you sift your matcha - most high quality will have sediment when your pour it, but you don’t want CLUMPS!
- add the water bit by bit so you don’t end up using too much! more water does not mean greener matcha (it just dilutes it)
- create a paste initially for a smoother matcha, plus this helps get rid of clumps if you don’t have a sift! Good hack 😂
- whisk in a ‘w’ motion, not circles
- don’t be scared to add a bit more matcha (yes we know it’s expensive) but 1-2g just doesn’t cut it in our opinion
