The simple method
Three steps. Then make it yours.
You do not need a complicated setup. A cup or bowl and either a bamboo whisk or small electric whisk are enough to get started.
Step 2
Whisk it smooth
Whisk until smooth with a bamboo whisk or a small electric whisk. The aim is to break up clumps and create an even mixture.
Step 3
Finish your drink
For hot matcha, top up with warm water. For iced matcha, add cold water and ice. For a latte, add your favourite milk.
Tip: Sifting the matcha first can make whisking easier, but it is not essential.
