This will be my second 'ible and now I will show how you do Matcha tea the proper way :D

Step 1: The Materials

You will need

Matcha (Matcha xD)

Chasen (whisk)

Chashaku (spoon)

Chawan (bowl)

You can of course use a "normal" whisk and a teaspoon or bowl but you will get the best results with these.

(if you are going to use something else than a proper chawan then atleast see that it is as big as the chawan, because you must be able to whisk it good)

Step 2: The Matcha Powder


Take one spoon of the matcha powder and put it in to the Chawan.

(meanwhile boil the water. the water must reach boiling temperature otherwhise you will not get any "foam")

Step 3: Finishing

Add the water (to little less than half of the Chawan, I have little too much water in the chawan) that has been resting for 4 min (after the boil)
and then whisk it until you get foam.

Step 4: Drinking It


When you drink the matcha there are some rules

On the first zip take about half of the tea.
On the second zip take the rest of the tea leaving the foam.
Then zip up the foam after the second zip.
