TRADITIONAL METHOD
STEP 1.
First, it is necessary to prepare the water as it has to be at a certain temperature. The ideal temperature range for water is between 70 and 80 degrees Celsius (158 and 176 degrees Fahrenheit).
STEP 2.
Then, you need to warm up the chavan by pouring hot water over it. Only after you have warmed the bowl then you should sift the matcha powder into it to prevent any clumps in the final beverage.
STEP 3.
After, add a little water and whisk until the mixture is thick and smooth - a foamy layer of bubbles should form on the surface. As soon as you see foam you should add remaining water.
STEP 4.
If you like, before serving the drink, you can strain it through a sieve again. This will make matcha even more smoother and more pleasing.
