How to Make Traditional Matcha Tea [Usucha]
1. Swift 1 to 2 teaspoons of Pristine Leaf Matcha powder in a warm bowl. Press the whisk down/back of spoon break up lumps if do not have a strainer for smoother tea.
2. Heat water just below boiling point, about 165°F-180°F (75°C-80°C). Boiling water is not suitable for Matcha as it can burn the tea. Pour 3-4 ounces of hot water in a separate tea cup, this will also warm up tea cup for Matcha. Do not pour hot water into tea bowl with Matcha all at once.
3. Slowly 2 to 3 oz of pre-boiling water into tea bowl, this will prevent the Matcha from clumping. Also, hot water warms up tea cup making it ready for tea. You may want to dry the warm tea cup with a clean towel.
4. Whisk the tea rapidly for 10 to 15 seconds with a “chasen” (bamboo whisk) using zigzag motion, like letter M or W. Simply an up and down motion will do as well. This will give foamy tea. For smoother tea, use circular motion to whisk. You may like to use Pristine Leaf hand-held Electric Milk Frother to create Matcha tea foam.
5. Pour the tea back into the tea cup, add more water to taste as desired and drink it immediately.

TEA NOTES
1.] Matcha doesn't necessarily entirely dissolve in water, it's powdered tea leaf after all & it tends to settle bit on bottom, if not mixed well or consumed immediately. We recommend stirring your Matcha well before drinking. For best results, use Pristine Leaf Matcha/Milk Frother to mix your Matcha tea with water or any milk .
2.] To add Matcha to any smoothie, shakes, or protein drink other than water or milk, use electric blender to mix your drink .
STORAGE: Store in dry, ambient temperature, away from direct sunlight.
