Matcha! For those of you who are matcha shy because of bitter experiences, let me say that high quality will change your taste. A matcha company I am recommending is Naoki Matcha. I did a comparative review of two of their matchas here. Naoki sent me a ceremonial grade matcha, the Ujitawara Special from their Masters Collection. Instead of preparing the matcha hot which is my typical method, I used a cold brew method following the instructions provided by Naoki Matcha.
How to Make Cold Brew Matcha
1. Sift 1 teaspoon of matcha
2. Pour 1 cup of cold water into a bottle (my advice: avoid plastic)
3. Add the sifted matcha to the bottle, cap it, and shake it for 30 seconds
4. Add ice cubes to a small glass cup
5. Pour the shaken matcha over ice and enjoy
The cup of matcha I drank was smooth, slightly sweet, lightly creamy, and vegetal. The bright green powder smelled like the best milk
chocolate you will ever eat.
