Sift the matcha: Use a small sieve to sift the matcha powder into a bowl to remove any lumps.
Add hot water: Pour in about ½ cup of hot (not boiling) water. Boiling water can make matcha bitter.
Whisk until frothy: Using a bamboo whisk or frother, whisk in a zigzag motion until the matcha is smooth and slightly foamy.
Flavor it: Stir in honey and lemon juice if desired. Adjust sweetness to taste.
Serve hot or cold: For an iced version, pour the matcha over ice cubes and top with almond milk or extra water.
Sip mindfully: Enjoy slowly for calm, sustained energy and natural fat-burning benefits.
