Matcha 101: The Perfect Pour

Master the art of matcha in just a few simple steps! 🍵✨

What You’ll Need

✔ So Matcha Love (1 tsp)
✔ 2 oz (1/4 cup) hot water (175°F / 80°C—don’t use boiling water!)
✔ Matcha whisk (chasen) or milk frother
✔ Matcha bowl (chawan) or mug
✔ Sifter (optional, but helps avoid clumps!)
✔ 6 oz (3/4 cup) milk (of your choice: oat, almond, coconut, or dairy)
✔ Ice cubes (for iced version)

Step-by-Step Guide

1️⃣ Scoop It – Add 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder into your bowl. For an ultra-smooth texture, sift it first!

2️⃣ Pour It – Add 1/4 cup of hot water (not boiling!). The sweet spot is 175°F (80°C)—too hot, and you’ll scorch the matcha!

3️⃣ Whisk It – Using a bamboo whisk, whisk in a quick zig-zag motion (not circles!) until the matcha is frothy and smooth. No whisk? A milk frother works too!

4️⃣ Add the Milk – Pour in 3/4 cup milk (your choice of milk) and stir. For a frothy latte, froth the milk before adding it!

5️⃣ Sip & Enjoy! – Either drink it hot or top it up with ice for a cool iced matcha latte. Sweeten if you like!

Pro Tips for the Perfect Cup

🌿 Quality Matters – Always use ceremonial-grade matcha for the best taste!
🔥 No Boiling Water – Too hot = bitter matcha! Stick to 175°F (80°C).
💚 Customize It – Try different milks (oat, almond, coconut, pistachio) for a creamy matcha latte!
☁️ Shake It Up – On the go? Add matcha + cold water to a bottle & shake!
