How to Make Matcha
Making matcha doesn’t need to be complicated. At Maddie’s, we keep it simple - a few good tools, quality matcha, and a moment to slow down.
Here’s how we make matcha at home or on the go, using a modern takeaway-style approach.
-
1. Sift
Add 2-3g of matcha to a bowl, using a small sieve if you have one, this breaks up any clumps and gives you a smoother cup.
-
2. Add Water
Pour in around 40ml of water heated to 70 to 80°C, not boiling. Boiling water scorches the matcha and makes it bitter.
-
3.Whisk
Using a bamboo whisk, move in a quick zigzag motion, not stirring, until it's frothy with a fine layer of bubbles on top, about 15 to 20 seconds.

4. Serve
Drink it as is, traditional style, or top with steamed milk or more water for a latte.
