Matcha, a finely powdered green tea powder, is used to produce Matcha drink using a bamboo whisk called a “chasen”(茶筅）. This equipment contributes to a foamy, smooth beverage. However, even if you don’t have a traditional bamboo whisk, there are other ways to enjoy your Matcha. Here are several Matcha preparation tips using ordinary household products.
Why Do You Need to “Whisk” Matcha?
Whisking Matcha does help to properly mix the powder into the hot water, resulting in a smooth, frothy texture. This method brings out the tea’s natural flavors and smells, therefore gives you a rich and delightful drinking experience. Without whisking, Matcha might clump together, producing an uneven and unpleasant tea.
Here are 3 Quick Ways to make Matcha drink Without Whisk
A traditional bamboo whisk will produce the smoothest bowl of Matcha (assuming you use high-quality Matcha), but the choices listed below make this potent green tea more accessible.
-
Use a Mason Jar / Bottle / Shaker
This is the most typical way to create Matcha when you’re on the move or don’t have a whisk. Place all of the ingredients in the bottle, seal it, and SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE (until you see a good coating of froth on top)!
This method is more suitable for cold brew Matcha, although it can also be used to make hot Matcha. Key is that you need to sift your Matcha powder into the bottle before shaking to help remove clumps. Matcha-specific shaker bottles are also available for purchase.
-
Use a Blender
A blender is another excellent tool for making Matcha without using a traditional bamboo whisk. In the blender, combine a teaspoon of Matcha powder and a little amount of warm water. Blend on low for 10-15 seconds, until the Matcha is smooth and frothy. You can then add more water or milk and mix for another few seconds. The blender’s high-speed blades efficiently combine the Matcha powder, resulting in a consistent and frothy tea. This method is perfect for preparing big batches of Matcha and including additional components such as sweeteners or flavorings.

Use a Milk Frother
A milk frother might be useful for preparing Matcha. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of Matcha powder to your cup, followed by 2 ounces of hot water. Insert the frother and turn it on, moving it around to ensure thorough mixing and a frothy texture. Add more hot water to achieve the desired consistency . Milk frothers offer quick and easy ways to prepare Matcha, even without a traditional bamboo whisk, resulting in a smooth and frothy drink.
