From MissB and I am definitely a matcha newbie!
I’ve always been interested in matcha and I figured that the mystery pack that she was doing was the perfect way to get just a small amount and IT’S GREAT.
Yes. Matcha newbie. Definitely don’t know how to prepare matcha and it was a total fail this morning but IT’S ALL GOOD I STILL ENJOYED IT SO I AM FINE.
This tea is great though. I could really smell it from the package and it was super nice and I definitely don’t know how to make this tea so I’m going to shut up now.

lol, how did you prepare it? Do you want/need some tips? :)
i need tips:) got my sample and afraid to try
Oh my gosh, yes please!
So I totally don’t have a matcha bowl/whisk/scoop so I had to make do with what I had.
I read somewhere that if it’s your first time, you shouldn’t have more than 1/2 tsp because of caffeine and things and I was like.. Okay then. And I read that people had it with milk and I thought that was pretty cool and I totally had no idea how much milk to use though.
SO MY PROCESS (I give you permission to laugh. I seriously had no idea haha)
1/2 tsp of matcha through my strainer to get rid of clumps, straight into my mug.
Boiled a bit of milk and I let it sit to cool down
Poured 8oz(ish) into my mug as I stirred with a fork beause I like… Had nothing else.
Dude. Matcha is just… FREAKIN WEIRD, MAN.
But I’m going out in a couple weeks to buy some matcha essentials (mainly the whisk, possibly a bowl?) and actually figure out how to prepare it and things haha.
Seriously, this entire morning my roommate and I were just laughing at each other because KNEW this wasn’t how it was supposed to be done! But it tasted decent at the end so at least it wasn’t a complete waste!
LOL…ok, well first off, I (and most people around here) tend to like flavored matchas with milk. For a hot latte I recommend microwaving the milk until it is warm (NOT hot or boiling, it’ll scald the matcha!) and then using a fork or small whisk if you have one to add 1/2 tsp of matcha and between 1-2tsp of sugar or honey depending on your tastes. An iced latte can be accomplished by either shaking the same amount of matcha, milk and sugar with 3 ice cubes in a mason jar or cocktail shaker, OR putting these things in the blender to make a frappe! Good luck and let me know how you like it as a latte :D
Oh okay, so I kinda //sorta did it okay hahha.
How much milk do you usually put it? I’ll probably try again Tuesday morning :)
Yeah, you didn’t do it wrong really. I do 8oz milk for 1/2 tsp matcha and 1-2tsp sugar or honey :) Just made one myself, actually, with Rich Berry Pie flavor matcha :D
