Whether you prefer it hot and frothy or iced and refreshing, we've got the key to a smooth, vibrant cup of matcha. With just a few simple steps, you can bring a **café-level** matcha experience straight to your kitchen.\n\n* * *\n\n## Scroll on to see how to make matcha, including our best tips and product recommendations.\n\n### 1. Add your matcha powder.\n\n\n\n\n### Rocky's Matcha Ceremonial Blend Matcha\n\n\nThe perfect matcha latte undoubtedly starts with the right **matcha powder**. There are several different grades of matcha: ceremonial, premium, and culinary. Ceremonial grade matcha powder is typically more expensive, but it provides the best sweet, smooth, and umami-rich flavor for drinks.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### 365 by Whole Foods Market Organic Matcha Powder\n\n\nPremium grade matcha powder is slightly less sweet than ceremonial grade, but can be a great option if you consume matcha on the daily. It's also great for baking projects.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### Jade Leaf Organic Culinary Matcha\n\n\nCulinary grade matcha powder is widely known as the more budget-friendly option. It’s noticeably more bitter and you’ll notice that its color is less vibrant than ceremonial grade matcha powder.\n\n**To get started on your matcha, you'll want to sift 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder into your matcha bowl. Sifting it through a fine mesh sieve ensures less clumps and better flavor.**\n\n### 2. Heat up your kettle.\n\n\n\n\n### Great Jones x Fellow EKG Pro Kettle\n\n\nTo make matcha, you’ll need to heat up some water so that the powder mixes perfectly. The exact temperature of water is important there, though, so having a good kettle on-hand will make the process super easy.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nWe _love_ this kettle from Great Jones x Fellow because it's aesthetically-pleasing, yet _super_ functional. You can fine-tune the exact temperature using an easy dial, set timers, and pour with precision, thanks to the pour-over spout.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### Café Kitsuné x Printworks Matcha Tools\n\nSome matcha purists insist on 'preheating' their matcha bowls before adding any powder. You can do this by filling it with hot water and letting it sit for about a minute, discarding the water after.\n\n**To prep your matcha powder in the matcha bowl, you’ll want your water to be around 175°F, just below boiling. You don’t need too much of it. Pour just enough to cover the powder.**\n\n**Next, mix the matcha and water together with your whisk for about 15-20 seconds, using a zig-zag motion until the matcha is fully dissolved and frothy.**\n\n### 3. Use a matcha bowl + whisk.\n\n\n\n\n### Ren Vois Blush Marble Matcha Table Set\n\n\nA reliable matcha bowl and whisk set is __crucial__ for preparing matcha the right way. Using these traditional tools ensures that your matcha powder is evenly mixed and doesn't come out clumpy.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### DAVIDsTEA Bamboo Matcha Whisk\n\nPlus, using a quality bamboo whisk gives your matcha that smooth, frothy texture you love and naturally aerates a bit of the bitterness out for a _seamless_ sip.\n\n### 4. Add your sweetener of choice.\n\n\n\n\n### Jordan's Skinny Mixes Sugar-Free Pistachio Syrup\n\n\nAfter you’ve mixed your matcha is where the fun __really__ kicks in. You can pair the matcha mixture with your favorite flavors, using syrups, purees, or natural sweeteners to jazz it up. Simply add your matcha to your desired amount of sweetener and gently mix to incorporate the flavors.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### 365 by Whole Foods Market Organic Grade A Dark Maple Syrup\n\n\nOther matcha lovers concoct their own syrups and purees, like strawberry, blueberry, and peach.\n\n**Using natural sweeteners like honey, agave, or maple syrup is also a stunning way to add some sweetness to your matcha latte!**\n\n### 5. Pour your milk.\n\n\n\n\n### Minor Figures Organic Barista Oat Milk\n\n\nMatcha lattes are typically served with milk for added creaminess __and__ to break some of the natural bitterness from the powder. Generally, anywhere from 1 to 1 1 ½ cups of milk is the perfect ratio.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### The HomeFlow Co.Handheld Milk Frother\n\n\nYou can easily sip your homemade matcha iced or hot. For a hot drink, you can use a milk steamer, or for the __less__ fancy, microwave it for a few minutes in a mug and froth with a handheld electric whisk.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### Trader Joe's Organic Unsweetened Almond Beverage\n\n\nOur favorite milks for matcha lattes include Minor Figures' Organic Barista Oat Milk, Trader Joe's Organic Unsweetened Almond Beverage, and Forager Project’s Organic Cashew Milk. Occasionally, we’ll add a tiny splash of **Chobani Vanilla Dairy Creamer** for extra sweetness if we don’t have other sweeteners on-hand.\n\n### 6. Serve in a cute glass!\n\n\n\n\n### Anthropologie The Marquee Icon Juice Glass\n\n\nA matcha latte truly isn’t complete without a cute cup or mug! In addition to mason jars and weck jars, these are the most adorable options we want in our kitchen ASAP.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### Wavy Drinking Glasses\n\nThese glasses are _full_ of personality. You'll be hosting an at-home cafe in no time!\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### Bluepolar Glass Tumbler\n\nThis glass is perfect for on-the-go matcha moments since it comes with a secure lid to prevent slips and spills.\n\n**Subscribe to our newsletter for more at-home barista tips and drink recipes!**\n\n__Brit + Co may at times use affiliate links to promote products sold by others, but always offers genuine editorial recommendations.__\n\n__This post has been updated.__",
