Traditional Usucha (Thin Tea) Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1-1.5 tsp high-quality matcha
• 2-3 oz (60-90 ml) hot water (175°F / 80°C)

Equipment:

• Matcha bowl
• Bamboo matcha whisk (chasen)

Instructions:

• Preheat your matcha bowl: Pour hot water into the bowl, swirl it around to warm the sides, then discard the water.
• Add 1-1.5 teaspoons of matcha powder to the warmed bowl.
• Carefully pour 2-3 ounces of warm water (175°F or 80°C) over the matcha powder.
• Using your bamboo whisk, whisk the matcha and water together in a zig-zag motion until a frothy layer forms on the surface.

Tip: The key to a perfect Usucha is in the whisking! Whisk briskly and continuously until you achieve a smooth, frothy consistency with minimal lumps.

Remember: Making usucha is an art that takes practice. Adjust your Japanese matcha powder and water quantities to find your perfect balance and preferred taste. Enjoy your cup of matcha by taking small sips!
