I have never been able to make matcha drinkable, I've tried it so many ways but the only way I like it is in a milkshake with vanilla ice cream, I wanted to try a hot cup and have tried a few suggested ways but haven't liked it yet. How do you make yours?
Well, I haven't made it in like a long time because when my grandma got it for me it was like last spring, but here's how it would usually go:
I'd start boiling some water over the stove, and then after it's done boiling, i open the lid to the tea pot and then let it cool for about 5 mins because if its like freshly boiling it'll destroy the antioxidants and stuff. While I'm waiting I get a bowl and then start getting like 1-2 tbsp (depends if i want a lot or a bit less that day), and then start sifting it. Then pour the water over it, and not a lot of water, maybe like 100ml of water? And then I start mixing it with the bamboo whisk. Like maybe for 3 minutes or until it's super bubbly and it has an intense earthy smell AAHHHHHHHH, and then I just go and listen to some traditional japanese music and then start sipping on it, haha, the green just looks sooo good.
That's how I do it, lol. I don't put in any sugar, but my grandma likes to put in a little bit of Canadian white honey, just to sweeten the flavor because yeah it is really bitter.
