How To Make Matcha The Easy Way

By Amanda Baird


Many people are not aware of the fact that matcha is a type of green tea specifically available in Asian countries especially Japan. The reason why it is referred as Japanese tea is because the major exporter and producer of this green tea is none other than Japan. If you consume it regularly you will be benefited with it in a healthy way. Its not difficult to learn how to make matcha tea but the process can differ from making other type of teas.

Unlike other green teas, it is a powdered tea which means you will be consuming whole tea leaf instead of just drinking the water extract of the leaf. You have the option to keep its consistency either thin or thick according to your personal preference and liking. The thick tea is known as Usucha and tea with thin consistency is called Koicha.

Its really important that you brew it the correct way otherwise it might taste extremely awful. In order to make a perfectly brewed cup of matcha you can follow some basic and important steps. Its recommended that you should always use warm water instead of boiling hot water to brew it.

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.

When the drink is still very hot, you must whisk it for a while in order to make it smooth textured. The recommended method is to add a little amount of hot water in your cup and then add the powder and whisk it until its smoothly mixed. Now you could add more water in it while stirring continuously so that the consistency that you desire can be achieved.

Whisk it for sometime to get a thick and frothy consistency whereas on the other hand, you don't need to whisk for a long time if you are looking for a thinly textured drink. Always drink your beverage while its hot otherwise its taste would change it will not give you a refreshing feeling.

It might be said that the procedure of how to make matcha is very straightforward. You can store the tea powder for quite a while if you keep it in a sealed jar inside a refrigerator. A number of health benefits are discovered in this tea are acknowledged to a great degree so make it your routine to drink no less than one mug daily.
