Sift it first for the smoothest result.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour in around 70 ml of hot water, about 70-80°C. Not boiling, as that makes matcha bitter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhisk briskly in a zig-zag \"M\" or \"W\" motion for 15-20 seconds until a fine foam forms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrink it as it is, or pour it over milk and ice for a matcha latte.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTip: soak the whisk prongs in warm water for a minute before use to soften them and protect them from breaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do I need to make matcha at home?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou need three things: good matcha powder, a bamboo whisk and a scoop for measuring. The Funky Matcha Starter Kit includes all three, so you can make your first bowl the day it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy use a bamboo whisk instead of a spoon or milk frother?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bamboo chasen breaks up clumps and blends the matcha evenly with the water, creating a smooth, creamy foam. A spoon leaves clumps, and a frother often gives a thinner, bubblier texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many cups of matcha does the kit make?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith around 2g per serving, the 50g pouch makes roughly 25 cups of matcha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs ceremonial grade matcha good for beginners?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Ceremonial grade is the smoothest and least bitter type of matcha, which makes it the best place to start if you want to actually enjoy it on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the starter kit a good gift?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It is a complete, ready-to-use matcha gift set, and the black bamboo whisk comes in a premium gift box. It works for both matcha beginners and people who already love matcha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I care for the bamboo whisk and scoop?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse the whisk with warm water only, no soap, and let it air-dry with the prongs facing down or on a whisk stand. Wipe the scoop with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Never soak them or put them in the dishwasher. The bamboo will develop a natural patina over time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Funky Matcha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57458532778310,"sku":null,"price":739.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/9989\/9974\/files\/IMG-0467.png?v=1790414076","url":"https:\/\/funkymatcha.com\/products\/matcha-starter-kit","provider":"FUNKY MATCHA ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
