We know that the chasen (that aesthetically pleasing bamboo whisk) is the traditional method for preparing matcha, but... what happens if you don't have one on hand? Don't worry, because here we bring you three super easy ways to mix your matcha without the need for a chasen and without lumps. ✨
1. Shaker or bottle with lid
If you have a bottle with an airtight lid or a shaker, this trick is for you. All you need is:
-
1 teaspoon of matcha from Matcha Tearapy
-
60 ml hot water (not boiling, please)
-
Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds
And that's it! It's super foamy and lump-free. Plus, it's perfect for taking your matcha on-the-go. 🌿
2. Electric whisk or milk frother
If you have a milk frother (that mini electric whisk that looks like a magic wand), use it to achieve a perfect mixture. Follow these steps:
-
Add 1 teaspoon of matcha in a cup
-
Pour 60 ml of hot water
-
Turn on the frother and mix for 10-15 seconds
You will get a foam worthy of a specialty coffee, but in a matcha version. 🚀
3. Blender or mixer
If you're looking for the creamiest, most effortless option , this is the one:
-
Add 1 teaspoon of matcha and 250 ml of your favorite milk into the blender
-
Blend for about 20 seconds
-
Serve and enjoy a frothy and delicious matcha latte 🍼
✨ Bonus tip:
To avoid lumps, first sift the matcha before mixing it with water. This will make it dissolve better and the result will be even smoother.
Now there are no excuses for not enjoying your perfect matcha without chasen! ✨ Tell us in the comments, which of these techniques will you try first?
