Pure Matcha,
The Traditional
Way

Sift. Push the matcha through a small sieve into a wide bowl — this is the difference between smooth and lumpy.

Check the water. Boil the kettle, then let it stand for 3 minutes. Boiling water makes matcha bitter, every time.

Whisk. Pour in a little water and whisk briskly in a W motion for 20–30 seconds until a fine foam covers the surface.

Top up. Add the remaining water and drink straight from the bowl while the foam holds.
