September 4, 2024

If you're new to matcha or don't have a traditional matcha whisk or bowl, don’t worry! Brewing a delicious cup of Organic Matcha is easy with a few simple household items. Follow these steps on how to brew organic matcha at home to get the best flavor and maximum benefits from your beverage.

Ingredients

1 serving of Organic Matcha
2–3 oz of hot water (not boiling, about 175°F or 80°C)
Optional: sweetener or milk for taste

Step-By-Step Instructions

1. Sift the Matcha Powder

Start by placing a teaspoon of matcha powder in a small bowl or cup.
If possible, sift the powder through a fine mesh strainer. This helps break up any clumps and creates a smoother texture when mixed.

2. Add a Small Amount of Hot Water

Heat water to just below boiling (about 175°F or 80°C).
Pour 2–3 oz of hot water over the sifted matcha. Use just enough water to create a thick, concentrated mix.

3. Mix Until Smooth

Use a spoon, small whisk, or even a milk frother if available. Stir briskly in a zig-zag or “M” motion for about 20–30 seconds until the matcha is fully dissolved and no lumps remain. You should see a light foam forming on top.

4. Add More Hot Water

Once the matcha is smooth, add an additional 3–4 oz of hot water if you prefer a milder drink. Adjust the water amount to your taste.

5. Enhance Your Matcha (Optional)

For a creamier texture, add a splash of milk (dairy or plant-based). Sweeteners like honey, agave, or vanilla syrup can also add a delightful touch if desired.

6. Enjoy Your Matcha

Pour your matcha into a favorite mug, take a sip, and enjoy the smooth, earthy flavors of Organic Matcha!

Tips for the Best Brew

Use Warm, Not Boiling Water: Boiling water can make matcha taste bitter. Aim for around 175°F for the best flavor.
Experiment with Amounts: Adjust the matcha powder and water ratio to create a brew that’s perfect for your taste.
Try it Iced: For a refreshing twist, add ice cubes and cold water instead of hot for an iced matcha.

Brewing Organic Matcha doesn’t have to be complicated! With these simple steps, you can make a vibrant, smooth, and delicious matcha that’s rich in antioxidants and ideal for anytime enjoyment.
