A matcha whisk and bowl are essential for traditional matcha tea preparation. If you're on the go, a matcha shaker is a handy alternative. Now, onto the brewing process! Heat water to just below boiling point (around 175-180°F). Sift 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder into your matcha bowl. Pour in a small amount of hot water and use your matcha whisk to create a smooth paste. Gradually add more hot water while whisking in a zigzag motion until you achieve a frothy, vibrant green matcha. Enjoy!
