4 Simple Methods on How to Make Delicious Matcha

Ingredients

• 2 g Matcha Powder (high‑quality ceremonial grade for best flavor and foam)
• 90 g Hot Water (heated to 65 °C (149 °F); use a kitchen scale for accuracy)
• 15 g Cold Water (room‑temperature water used only in the Special Method)
• 1 piece Tea Strainer (fine‑mesh to remove clumps)
• 1 piece Bamboo Whisk (Chasen) (traditional thin‑tipped (hosaki) whisk; flexible for smooth foam)
• 1 piece Tea Bowl (ceramic bowl (e.g., KINTO) that can be warmed slightly)
• 1 piece Electric Mixer (hand‑held mixer for the Ultra‑Rapid Method (optional))
• 1 piece Container (Mason Jar or Tall Glass) (tall enough to prevent splashing when mixing)

Instructions

1. Gym Method – Simple Mix

   Place 2 g of matcha into a container, add 90 g of 65 °C hot water, and stir until fully dissolved. For a smoother texture, pour the mixture through a fine‑mesh tea strainer into a tea bowl.

2. Ultra‑Rapid Method – Electric Mixer

3. Traditional Method – Bamboo Whisk (Chasen)

   Sift 2 g of matcha through the tea strainer into a tea bowl. Add 90 g of 65 °C hot water. Warm the bamboo whisk in hot water for a few seconds, then whisk for a total of 15 seconds: 3 seconds to blend, 7 seconds vigorous back‑and‑forth motion to incorporate air, and 5 seconds gentle strokes over the surface to smooth the foam.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: 65°C

4. Special Method – Pre‑Mix with Cool Water

   Sift 2 g of matcha into a tea bowl. Pour 15 g of room‑temperature water over the powder, whisk gently until the mixture resembles green paint and releases a fragrant aroma. Then add 75 g of 75 °C hot water and whisk using the traditional 15‑second technique to create a thick, aromatic foam.
