How to Make Matcha in 5 Easy Steps

Follow our quick and easy steps to prepare matcha below. Matcha is a green powder, traditionally made from ground Japanese green tea leaves. As matcha comes in a powder form it needs to be whisked with water, or milk, in order to drink it. 

Preparing your own matcha is a very straightforward task and is a nice moment just for yourself! Our quick and easy steps will help you make the perfect matcha every day. 

Make matcha green tea powder - the easy way!

Matcha Making Instructions
  1. Take a Perfect Matcha Spoon of matcha and add to a bowl (you can also do in your mug if you want it to be super simple).
  2. Add a splash of 80° water (a splash of cold before a splash of hot water works great if you don't have a fancy kettle). Using 80° water means that you don't burn the matcha and end up with a bitter taste.
  3. Grab your Matcha Whisk or Handheld Milk Frother and whisk in a W motion until it is frothy, make sure no matcha blobs are around the side of the mug! 
  4. Once fully whisked, this is your matcha shot. This is a great time to add any syrups or flavourings - we find honey is a great addition.
  5. Take your shot, and turn it into any matcha drink of your choosing! We have a few suggestions below.
