How to Brew Matcha Gunpowder Green Tea
Classic Hot Tea Method
For a traditional, smooth tea experience:
1. Heat Water: Bring fresh, filtered water to 175°F (80°C) (avoid boiling to prevent bitterness).
2. Measure Your Tea: Use 1 teaspoon of the blend per 8 oz. of water.
3. Steep: Let it steep for 2-3 minutes, then stir well to incorporate the matcha powder.
4. Strain & Enjoy: Strain the loose leaves, pour into your cup, and sip mindfully.
Iced Matcha Gunpowder Green Tea
For a refreshing and invigorating twist:
1. Follow the classic brewing method, but double the tea leaves for a stronger brew.
2. Let it cool, then pour over a glass of ice.
3. Add a splash of lemon juice or honey for a natural flavor boost.
Matcha Gunpowder Green Tea Latte
For a creamy, comforting drink:
1. Brew your tea as instructed above.
2. Warm your choice of milk (oat, almond, or dairy) and froth it.
3. Pour the milk over the brewed tea and stir.
4. Add a drizzle of raw honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra warmth.
