# Usucha

> Thin ceremonial matcha, light and frothy.

- Time: 3 min
- Makes: 1 bowl · 70 ml
- Hot · Caffeinated · Level: Intermediate

## Ingredients

- 2 g ceremonial matcha (2 chashaku scoops or 1 level tsp)
- 70 ml water at 75–80 °C

## Method

1. Warm the bowl and chasen with hot water. Discard the water and dry the bowl.
2. Sift the matcha into the bowl.
3. Add 15 ml of water and make a smooth paste with the chasen, without whisking.
4. Add the rest of the water and whisk in an "M" or "W" from the wrist only for 15 to 20 s.
5. In the last seconds, lift the whisk to the surface to break the big bubbles. Lift out from the centre.

To finish: Fine, creamy foam, the colour of jade.

Tip: Drink in three or four sips straight after whisking: the foam collapses within minutes.
