Learn how to matcha green tea at home using either of our 3 methods (with or without a whisk). In our video, we also show you our tips and small tricks to achieve a velvety elixir that won't be bitter!

Method 1 - Traditional Method of Making Matcha (Best to get a creamy texture)
🥣 Tools you’ll need for this method:
Bamboo Whisk (Chasen) - https://amzn.to/3lLve1E
Bamboo Scoop (Chashaku) - https://amzn.to/3lDVuv2
Japanese Tea Bowl (Chawan) - https://amzn.to/3z43SXS

📝 We think that the Chashaku is entirely optional as you can replace this with a teaspoon. However, we wouldn't skip out on using a Japanese tea bowl. The wide shape and height are perfect for making Japanese green tea in combination with the bamboo whisk.

Method 2 - Make Japanese Green Tea with a Milk Frother (No whisking)
🥣 Tools you’ll need for this method:
Milk Frother - https://amzn.to/3DedZeH

📝 We recommend only using a milk frother that mentions it is purpose-built to also make Japanese green tea in the manual. This is because a lot of milk frothers could heat up the water to above 80 degrees which will make the drink really bitter. Make sure to always use the lowest heat and fastest setting.

Method 3 - Make Matcha without Whisk (Quickest way to make green tea)
🥣 Tools you’ll need for this method:
Handheld electric whisk - https://amzn.to/3JYCqQX

🍴Here are the ingredients you’ll need:
1-2 scoops of ceremonial grade matcha powder - https://amzn.to/3ObKyjM
60ml of hot water (around 80 degrees)
Sweetener (optional)

📝 If this is one of your first times making matcha, we recommend starting small and using only a small scoop of the powder to start with.

📝 Make sure you don't use boiling water! This is what makes your drink turn out bitter. If you don't have a temperature control kettle, boil your water and leave this for 2-3 minutes. You can still get a delicious cup of green tea even if the temperature is slightly lower than 80 degrees.

📝 You can also make matcha without tools by using a sieve and fork. However, from our experience, it hasn't given us the same creaminess and flavour as the results above.
