teas.co.uk · 6 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 3g Dilmah Ceylon Pure Green Loose Leaf Tea (1 level teaspoon)
• 160ml total water (60ml for the whisk at 75C, 100ml steamed milk)
• 100ml whole milk, steamed to 65C
• 1 220ml chawan bowl, warmed
• 1 small bamboo whisk (chasen)
• 1 small spice grinder
• 1 fine sieve for sifting

Method

1. Warm a small bowl with hot water and tip it out.
2. Grind a teaspoon of loose green leaf to a fine powder in a spice grinder.
3. Sift the powder into the bowl through a fine sieve to remove the coarse bits.
4. Boil the kettle and let it cool to about 75C, then pour 60ml over the powder.
5. Whisk hard with a bamboo whisk in a W motion for about thirty seconds, until frothy.
6. Warm the milk until it just steams, then pour it slowly over the frothed tea.
7. Sift the ground leaf before whisking; it is what keeps the drink smooth rather than gritty.
