## Summary

How to whisk matcha the traditional way: sift the powder, use cooler water, and whisk to a creamy froth.

## Description

Matcha is a different ritual from any other tea: instead of steeping leaves, you whisk the whole powdered leaf into the water and drink the lot. A few things separate a smooth bowl from a lumpy, bitter one. Sift the powder first so it does not clump, use water cooled to around 75C rather than boiling, and whisk briskly in a zig-zag until a fine, creamy froth forms on top. It takes a minute and is oddly satisfying to do.
