Sift. Sift the matcha (to remove any lumps) into a mug or small bowl.
Whisk. Pour the ¼ cup of hot water into the mug and use a matcha whisk to whisk vigorously in a "W" pattern for about 30 seconds, until frothy. Alternatively, you can use an electric frother.
Fill up the mug. Add the remaining hot water and enjoy. Sweeten to taste, if desired.
