Traditional matcha preparation involves sifting the fine powder into a bowl, adding a small amount of hot water (around 175°F or 80°C), and whisking vigorously with a bamboo whisk until a smooth, frothy consistency is achieved. This creates a concentrated matcha tea that can be consumed as is or diluted with more hot water or milk. Matcha can also be used in various recipes, such as lattes, smoothies, baked goods, and desserts.
