How to prepare the matcha.

Put 2g (2 chashaku scoop) matcha powder into a tea bowl.

Pour 50 ml of hot water (70℃) over the powder and whisk it with a chasen.

When all the small lumps are mixed, add 40 ml of water more, continuing to whisk until high foam forms.

After the matcha is done, drink it immediately, because as it cools down it gets bitter.
