How to Prepare Matcha (Usucha – Thin Matcha Style):

1. Sift 1 to 2 grams (about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon) of matcha into a matcha bowl (chawan) to remove clumps.

2. Heat water to about 75–80°C (170–175°F).

3. Add about 60–70 ml (2–2.5 oz) of hot water to the bowl.

4. Whisk briskly in a zigzag or “M” motion using a bamboo whisk (chasen) until a fine froth appears on the surface.

5. Enjoy immediately.

For a matcha latte, simply mix the sifted matcha with a small amount of hot water to make a paste, then add steamed milk of your choice and sweeten to taste.
