For moments of pure serenity, nothing compares to a perfectly whisked bowl of matcha with a soft, sweet mochi. It’s a quiet ritual that brings me peace and calm.
Simple Matcha Ritual
Ingredients
- 1 tsp ceremonial grade matcha powder
- 2 oz hot water (175°F/80°C)
- Mochi (store-bought or homemade)
- Small matcha bowl (chawan)
- Bamboo whisk (chasen)
Steps
- Sift matcha powder into your chawan to remove clumps.
- Add hot water (not boiling) to the bowl. Whisk vigorously in a 'W' motion with your chasen until a frothy layer forms on top.
- Serve immediately alongside a piece of mochi. Enjoy slowly and mindfully.
