How we like to enjoy our matcha:

HOT: Place 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of matcha into a cup and add a splash of hot (not boiling) water. Mix thoroughly with a spoon to remove lumps of matcha. If you have a bamboo whisk, mix matcha with it until frothy. Now that you have your concentrated matcha, you can either fill the glass up the rest of the way with water or milk.

COLD: Place 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of matcha into a glass of cold water. Mix thoroughly with a spoon to remove lumps of matcha. And ice and if your feeling fancy add a little squeeze of lemon and ENJOY!
