Sift the powder: Place a small fine-mesh sieve over a matcha bowl or wide mug and press the matcha through it with a teaspoon to remove any clumps.
Add warm water: Pour 2 to 3 ounces of filtered water heated to about 175°F (80°C) over the sifted matcha.
Whisk briskly: Using a bamboo whisk, whisk quickly in an M or W motion for 15 to 30 seconds until a fine layer of foam forms across the surface.
Sip mindfully: Enjoy the matcha plain within about 15 minutes while the foam is fresh and the powder remains evenly suspended.
