Instructions

Place the small strainer over the bowl and using your chashaku (tea scoop), scoop some matcha powder (approximately 1/2 teaspoon).

Place the matcha powder in the strainer and sift it. You can use the chashaku to help the powder sift through the holes if needed.

Pour 2 ounces hot water (180°F / 80°C) over the matcha powder and whisk in a zigzag motion (like you are drawing the letter W). Keep whisking until the top gets a little frothy.
