- 2-3 oz (60-90 ml) hot water (175°F / 80°C)
Equipment:
- Matcha bowl
- Bamboo matcha whisk (chasen)
Instructions:

- Add 1-1.5 teaspoons of matcha powder to the warmed matcha chawan.
- 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.
