Dissolve the matcha powder in the almost boiling water. Using a Japanese bamboo whisk (chasen) (or a regular whisk if you don’t have one, like me), briskly whisk the matcha in a W motion until it gets thick and foamy. Using a Japanese bamboo whisk is going to give you a much better result and it’ll be much more frothy, but it still tastes delicious if you make it this way too.
