A Guide to Making Matcha
1. Pour some hot water into the bowl, and gently soak the tip of the whisk in the hot water.
(This warms up the bowl, and softens the prongs of the whisk.)
2. Pour out the hot water from the bowl. Dry the inside of the bowl with a clean dry cloth.
3. Using chasaji, the tea ladle, put one and a half heaping ladles of Matcha（about 2g）into the dry, empty bowl.
4. Cool down hot water to 70-80degrees. Slowly pour the cooled down water into the bowl until it is about 1/3 full(or pour about 70ml of water).
5. Using a quick back and forth stroking motion, whisk the Matcha and hot water until it is smooth and ready to drink.
