STEP 1 Put 2g (0.4 US tsp, 1 teaspoon or 2 chashaku scoop) matcha powder into a suitable tea bowl.
STEP 2 Pour 70 ml (2.4 fl oz) 80℃ (176°F) water over the matcha powder.
STEP 3 Whisk with a chasen (tea whisk) until foamy.

As Koicha- Thick Tea:
STEP 1 Put 4g (0.8 US tsp, 2 teaspoon or 4 chashaku scoop) matcha powder into a suitable tea bowl.
