teas.co.uk · 10 min · Serves 1
You'll need
- 3g Loyd Matcha Japanese Green Tea Powder (1.5 chashaku scoops)
- 80ml freshly drawn water cooled to 75C
- 250ml cold whole milk (or cold filtered water)
- 1 tall 450ml glass, chilled in the freezer for ten minutes
- Enough cubed ice (about 250g)
- 1 small bowl, 1 bamboo whisk
Method
- Sift the matcha into a small bowl to keep it lump free.
- Boil the kettle and let it cool a couple of minutes to around 75C.
- Add 80ml of the cooled water and whisk hard in a W motion to a smooth concentrate.
- Let the concentrate cool, standing the bowl in cold water for a few minutes.
- Fill a tall glass with ice.
- Pour the matcha concentrate over, then top with cold milk for a creamy version or cold water for a clean one.
- Stir well before drinking, as matcha settles.
- Tip: whisk any sweetener into the warm concentrate, so it dissolves and does not settle grainy at the bottom.
