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.
