5 ways to prepare matcha WITHOUT CHASEN

If you're a matcha lover but don't have a chasen handy, don't worry. There are simple alternatives to get a smooth, lump-free drink. Here are five practical methods to easily prepare matcha. 🍵✨

1. Use a shaker or a bottle with a lid

If you like practicality, this method is perfect for you:

  • Add 1 teaspoon of Matcha Tearapy matcha into a shaker or bottle with a lid

  • Pour 60 ml of hot water (without boiling)

  • Close tightly and shake vigorously for 30 seconds.

You will get a well-mixed, lump-free matcha, ideal to take with you anywhere. 🌿

2. Electric whisk or milk frother

For a creamy matcha with an incredible texture, the milk frother is your best option:

  • Place 1 teaspoon of matcha in a cup

  • Add 60 ml of hot water

  • Use the frother for 10-15 seconds until foamy.

This method leaves an airy and delicious texture, worthy of a coffee shop matcha latte. ☁️

3. Blender or mixer

If you prefer an effortless method with a homogeneous result, try the blender:

  • Mix 1 teaspoon of matcha with 250 ml of milk or water

  • Blend for 20 seconds until well integrated.

  • Serve and enjoy a frothy and creamy matcha 🥤

4. Strainer and spoon or fork

This manual method requires a little more patience, but is very effective:

  • Sieve the matcha with a strainer to avoid lumps.

  • Add a small amount of hot water and mix with a spoon or fork.

  • Continue mixing while adding the rest of the water until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.

Although it takes a little more time, it guarantees a well-integrated matcha. 💫

5. Glass jar and ice cube

If you want a cold and refreshing matcha, this method is for you:

  • Add 1 teaspoon of matcha into a glass jar

  • Add 60 ml of water and an ice cube

  • Shake vigorously for 30 seconds

Ice helps break up clumps and leaves a cold drink perfect for hot days. ❄️

🌟 Extra tip:

For a smoother, better tasting matcha, use good quality, filtered water. You'll notice the difference!

There are no more excuses for not enjoying a good matcha. 🌿 Which of these methods will you try first?
