How to Prepare Mozu Mukashi

Matcha: 2g (1 teaspoon)

Water: 75ml (2.5 fl. oz) at 80 to 85°C (175 to 185°F)

1. Sift the matcha powder into a warm, dry tea bowl to remove clumps and ensure a smooth texture.
2. Pour the hot water directly over the sifted matcha.
3. Whisk vigorously with a bamboo whisk (chasen) in a W or M motion until a fine layer of froth forms on the surface.
4. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Temperature Note: Preparing this specific matcha with slightly cooler water (closer to 80°C or 175°F) is highly recommended to enhance its natural sweetness and minimize any potential bitterness.
