How To Prepare Matcha Green Tea - Craig Hochstadt

Meet Your Matcha Accessories A handmade bamboo whisk (called a chasen), a tea bowl (matcha-chawan), a measuring ladle (chashaku), a tea strainer, and—of course—your matcha powder.

Put Matcha Powder Into Your Strainer To brew a cup, scoop 1½ ladlefuls (about 2 grams, or 1½ teaspoons) matcha powder into your strainer.

Sift Your Matcha Powder Into Your Tea Bowl Sift your matcha powder into your tea bowl, swirling the powder around the strainer with your ladle. This will ensure there are no clumps so your tea will be smooth.

Pour The Hot Water Into The Bowl Pour boiling water (about 2 ounces) into a teacup, then let it sit until it cools down to about 180–190 degrees (about a minute). Carefully pour the hot water into the bowl with the matcha powder.

Combine Your Tea Using your chasen, whisk to combine your tea. Whisk for about 10–15 seconds until the tea is bright green.
