Those who cannot drink matcha powder

Matcha powder is a food ingredient with relatively high nutritional value. It will not cause adverse effects on the body. It can be said that it is suitable for people of all ages to drink. It is good for the body and will not cause side effects. Matcha powder is steamed green tea ground into fine powder with natural stones. It has good nutrients. It is best not to use boiling water when drinking it to avoid a decrease in nutrition.

Can matcha powder be drunk directly with water?

Do not rinse directly with boiling water. First use a little boiling water to make a paste, that is, add a little water to the matcha powder to make a fine paste without lumps or particles, then slowly add a little water to gradually make it into a liquid, and finally add all the boiling water you want to make. Do not use cold water to mix the tea, as it will accelerate the oxidation and discoloration of the matcha. If the pulp is not mixed and washed with water alone, a lot of lumps will form. Drink the brewed matcha as soon as possible, because when it cools down, it will condense at the bottom of the water to form a layer that can no longer be washed away. If you want to make something, you can try sponge cake or chiffon cake, biscuits or soft toast. It is not suitable to make it too sweet. The sweet taste is best matched with matcha.

Matcha is usually consumed in the Japanese tea ceremony, which follows a complex set of rules.

The basic method is to place a small amount of matcha in a tea bowl, add a small amount of warm (not boiling) water, and stir well (traditionally using a tea whisk).

In the Japanese tea ceremony, "strong tea" is made by adding 4 grams of matcha to 60CC of boiling water, which is a bit like a paste. For “thin tea”, use 2 grams of matcha and add 60 CC of boiling water. You can use a tea whisk to create thick foam, which is very beautiful and refreshing.
