Step By Step Guide About How To Make Matcha

By Amanda Baird


For those individuals who are not familiar with Matcha tea, its a type of green tea quite commonly found in Asian countries like Japan. It is sometimes referred to as Japanese tea because Japan is the major producer in this regards. There are lots of health benefits associated with the consumption of this. The process of how to make matcha tea is a bit different as compared to other types of green teas.

Matcha is actually a powdered tea instead of whole leaf tea which means it isn't the tea leaf extract in fact you will be drinking the whole tea leaf as well. It depends on your personal taste whether you keep its texture thin or thick. Usucha and Koicha are the names given to this tea based on their consistency and texture.

To avoid an awful tasting tea you should follow the brewing process in an accurate manner. There are certain steps that you need to follow to brew a perfect cup of matcha. Never use boiling hot water to brew it instead use warm hot water.

The first thing you are required to do is to boil the water at its highest temperature and once boiled turn off the heat and let it rest for a minute or two before starting the process of brewing. Its better if you take out some warm water in a separate pan or bowl to reach the consistency that you desire. Pour rest of the water in another bowl. Although you need to rest the water for sometime but don't let it cool down otherwise it won't be brewed perfectly.

Include the powder of green tea depending upon what sort of consistency you are looking for. In one cup, you could add from half scoop to a maximum of two scoops. For example, assuming that you are searching for thick texture then you may include 2 scoops while in the event that you need it to be thin then just half scoop might be all that anyone could need. You might as well strain it well in order to avoid any granules or particles coming into your mouth while you take a sip of it.

While making sure that the water temperature is still quite hot, whisk your tea as quickly and smoothly as you can. The best way to prepare it should be that first of all you take a small quantity of hot water add the powder to create mixture and once its mixed thoroughly, you can add the rest of the water and mix it well.

If you want to make it thick then whisk till a layer of froth is created on top whereas to obtain thin texture gently whisk in circular motion and get a smooth and light blend of tea. The best way is to drink it immediately otherwise the taste will not remain the same.

Thus, the process involved in how to make matcha is very easy. Keep your tea powder in the refrigerator while sealing it in using an air tight container. It s a good practice to drink this tea on a regular basis because it contains a lot of beneficial antioxidants that are considered to be good for your health and physical fitness in general.
