Warm your chawan with 195°F water and rest your whisk in the bowl to soften the tines. Discard your warming water and gently dry the bowl with your towel. Sift 2 grams of matcha powder (or one perfect matcha scoop) into your prepared bowl. Add approximately 2-3 ounces of 195°F water to your bowl. Whisk vigorously in a "W" motion until a thick crema has formed on top of your matcha. Add additional water, sweetener, and foamed milk as desired. Serve and enjoy!

Cover with water (for lattes only fill to 2/3 full), close the shaker, and shake vigorously for approximately 30 seconds. Serve and enjoy or top with cold frothed milk for an iced matcha latte.
