The chasen is the traditional bamboo whisk for preparing matcha, but if you don't have one, no problem! Here are four easy, lump-free ways to enjoy your matcha anytime. ✨

This method is ideal if you are away from home or just want speed. All you need is:
-
1 teaspoon of matcha from Matcha Tearapy

60 ml hot water (not boiling)
-
Shake for 30 seconds
The result: a homogeneous mixture ready to enjoy. Perfect for on the go. 🌿

If you are looking for a creamier and airier texture, this is your ally. Just follow these steps:
-
Add 1 teaspoon of matcha in a cup
-
Pour 60 ml of hot water
-
Mix with the frother for 10-15 seconds
You will have a perfect foam and a super soft texture. 🚀
3. Blender or mixer
If you want a delicious, well-blended matcha latte, try this:
-
Add 1 teaspoon of matcha and 250 ml of milk into the blender
-
Blend for 20 seconds

4. Strainer and spoon or fork
If you don't have any of the above, this trick will save you:

Strain the matcha with a fine strainer into your cup

Add a little hot water and mix with a spoon or fork with vigorous movements.

Add the rest of the water and continue mixing until well integrated.
It may take a little longer, but you will get a lump-free and well-dissolved mixture. ✨
