Matcha, the vibrant green tea hailing from Japan, is more than just a drink; it's a wellness experience. Loaded with antioxidants, it benefits the mind, heart, and body. Here's how to create the perfect matcha with Matcha Made essentials.
Matcha Making Basics
Start with high-quality Matcha Made Pure, Vanilla, or Cinnamon flavoured matcha powder. For a smooth, clump-free texture, sift your matcha using the Matcha Made sieve. The traditional way involves a bamboo scoop and the Matcha Made Whisk or electric whisk in a zig-zag motion, creating a frothy top that's visually appealing and delicious.
Matcha in a Cup
Lacking traditional tools? Not a problem. Even without a bamboo whisk, you can still enjoy a delightful matcha experience. Just mix your matcha powder with water to create a paste and then add more water to adjust to your taste.
Considerations When Making Matcha
- Choosing the Right Milk: Almond or oat milk blends beautifully with matcha, enriching its umami flavour.
- Water Temperature: Aim for 179-180 degrees Fahrenheit to avoid clumping and ensure smooth dissolving.
- Selecting the Best Matcha Powder: Opt for ceremonial-grade Matcha Made powder for its superior quality and rich flavour profile ideal for drinking.
Additional Tips
Achieve the perfect froth by whisking vigorously. While sweeteners can enhance the flavour, natural alternatives maintain the health benefits of your matcha drink.
Embrace the simplicity of matcha preparation with Matcha Made products, and enjoy the perfect cup every time.
