How to Make Ceremonial Matcha 🍵✨

Enjoy a mindful matcha ritual with this traditional preparation method.

Ingredients:
- 1–2g (½–1 tsp) organic matcha powder (like Hana Matcha)
- 70–80ml (2–3 oz) hot water (heated to 75–80°C / 167–176°F)
- Optional: Additional water for a lighter matcha

Tools Needed:
✔ Matcha bowl (chawan)
✔ Bamboo whisk (chasen)
✔ Bamboo scoop (chashaku)
✔ Sifter (optional, but prevents clumps)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Warm Your Tools
- Pour a little hot water into the matcha bowl to warm it.
- Soak the bamboo whisk (chasen) in warm water for 1–2 minutes to soften the bristles.
- Discard the water and dry the bowl.

2. Sift the Matcha
- Use a small sifter to sift 1–2g (½–1 tsp) of matcha powder into the bowl.
- This prevents clumping and ensures a smooth, frothy texture.

3. Add Hot Water
- Pour 70–80ml (2–3 oz) of hot water (not boiling!) into the bowl. Boiling water (above 80°C) can make matcha bitter.

4. Whisk to Perfection
- Hold the chasen (bamboo whisk) with a relaxed grip.
- Whisk briskly in a W or M motion (not circular) until a smooth, frothy layer forms on top.
- The foam should be fine and even with tiny bubbles.

5. Enjoy!
- Drink immediately, savoring the delicate umami, natural sweetness, and creamy texture.
- Take a deep breath and enjoy the moment—matcha is more than a drink, it’s a ritual.

🌱 Tips for the Perfect Matcha:
✅ Use fresh, high-quality matcha like Hana Matcha for the best flavour.
✅ Avoid metal utensils—they can alter matcha’s delicate taste.
✅ Experiment with water ratios to find your perfect matcha strength.

🍃 Fun Matcha Facts:
🌿 Matcha is shade-grown, which boosts chlorophyll and gives it that vibrant green colour.
🍵 One cup of matcha = 10 cups of green tea in antioxidants!
🧘‍♀️ Matcha contains L-theanine, which promotes calm focus—perfect for meditation or a productivity boost.

Enjoy your ceremonial matcha and embrace the art of slow living! 💚



How to Make the Perfect Matcha Latte 🍵🥛✨

A creamy, frothy, and delicious way to enjoy matcha—whether hot or iced!

Ingredients:

1–2g (½–1 tsp) matcha powder (like The OG Matcha – Hana Matcha)
60ml (2 oz) hot water (75–80°C / 167–176°F)
200ml (6–8 oz) milk (dairy or plant-based: oat, almond, soy, or coconut)
Optional: Sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or vanilla syrup)
Tools Needed:

✔ Matcha bowl (chawan) or small mixing cup
✔ Bamboo whisk (chasen) or electric frother
✔ Milk frother or small saucepan
✔ Sifter (optional, prevents clumps)
