The perfect cup of matcha - my method
I've been experimenting with matcha for years, and this is my favorite routine:
-
Premium matcha needs the best tools. I use a small bamboo whisk (chasen), but a small handheld milk frother also works well at home.
-
Temperature is key. Boil water, then let it stand for 5-7 minutes. This cools the water just enough (to 80°C) to prevent burning the delicate green tea flavors of the matcha. I use this kettle: De'Longhi Eclettica SpecialTea. I recommend it for tea making, as it has adjustable temperature and maintains it.
- Ratios: It's important to consume the right amount for you, although the caffeine content of matcha is unique: due to the L-theanine content of green tea, its effect is calm, focused alertness - without the jitters or "crash" associated with coffee. Thus, a cup of matcha provides a balanced energy that can last for 4-6 hours.
-
Don't rush! Whisk quickly but surely until a fine, silky foam covers the surface of the tea. Enjoy every moment of your tea or latte!
- As a latte: Dissolve about 1 teaspoon of matcha in a little 80-degree water, then add 150-200 ml of warm or cold milk - sweeten to taste!
