At Blossom Matcha, we believe that crafting the perfect cup of matcha is an art, a ritual, and a little slice of joy in your day. Whether you’re a traditionalist or love experimenting with lattes, this simple guide will help you brew matcha like a pro.
What You’ll Need
- Matcha powder: ½ tsp per serving
- Water: 75°C (not boiling – we want to keep those delicate flavours intact!)
- A bowl or cup
- A whisk (traditional bamboo or regular works)
- Optional: milk or milk alternatives, ice
The Method
-
Measure & Add Matcha
Start with ½ tsp of matcha powder in your bowl or cup. This is the perfect amount for a 200ml drink. -
Create the Paste
Add a small amount of hot water (about 30ml) and whisk vigorously until the matcha forms a smooth, lump-free paste. A “W” motion works best to get that creamy consistency! -
Customise Your Drink
- Classic Matcha Tea: Add more hot water to your paste (around 170ml) for a pure and invigorating drink.
- Matcha Latte: Top your paste with steamed milk for a creamy, frothy delight.
- Iced Matcha Latte: Pour your matcha paste into a glass filled with cold milk and ice. Stir well and enjoy the ultimate refreshing treat.
Tips for Matcha Perfection
- Use high-quality matcha for the best flavour and vibrant green colour (hello, Blossom Matcha 😉).
- For iced matcha, shake your drink in a sealed jar to achieve a frothy, barista-level finish.
- Experiment with different milk alternatives like oat, almond, or coconut for unique flavour combos.
Whether you’re savouring a warm latte on a cozy morning or sipping a chilled version by the pool, matcha is more than a drink—it’s an experience. Try it today and elevate your tea game the Blossom way!
