The best ways to brew matcha tea

5/5 — (15 votes)

Starbucks, of course, are the kings of marketing. We taught the whole world to drink coffee with syrups and additives and be proud of it. Their drinks are so photogenic and delicious that many are tempted to run in the morning for a festive latte. I believe that since you have chosen the keto path, once voted for normal healthy food, without syrups and additives, then you should forget the road there. If you’ve come for company, then your choice is freshly brewed severe black, Americano or espresso, or tea without additives.

I myself know that it is difficult to give up eating habits, which is why many lovers of all kinds of pumpkin and spice lattes choose drinks with coconut or almond milk. What's in these types of milk? Is there sugar? We will look for the answer from the coffee shop chain itself. I requested information about the composition of the products and here are the details. As they say on the Internet, I'll just leave this here and highlight the word "sugar" and you can decide which latte you don't order next time.

How to drink matcha tea correctly?

Classic matcha is usually consumed on its own – without snacks. Europeans, not accustomed to drinking tea “in vain,” solved this problem by having a preliminary snack with traditional sweets without a pronounced sweet or sour taste.

The tea itself must be drunk immediately after preparation - otherwise sediment may form at the bottom of the cup. However, this does not mean that you need to drink it in one gulp. Drink slowly, giving each sip enough time. To feel the taste of the drink, hold it in your mouth for a while.

You've already read about matcha latte. What do you think about ice cream made from this tea?

How to select and store

It is difficult not to make a mistake and buy a fake instead of a quality product, because matcha tea is still new, the Russian buyer has not yet learned to distinguish real tea from a fake.

To buy a good product, you need to follow the advice of experienced sellers:

1. Package. Dense containers where light and air do not penetrate are the first sign that the product is of high quality.
2. Color. Shades of green, but not swampy or brown.
3. Price. The product is expensive, for 50 g it costs from 300 to a thousand rubles.
4. Aroma. Sweetish, with tea tartness.

You can store tea packaging for a short time, because it does not tolerate contact with light and air. A tightly closed jar or package should be placed in a box where it is dry and dark. The powder package can be stored in the refrigerator for up to six months. Also, in an attempt to preserve the powder longer, it is often frozen. In this state, tea can be stored for years.

Matcha classification

The tea in question is classified based on its concentration. There are two types of strength:

• usutya (light);
• koitya (rich).

The types under consideration have some differences. They also have similarities. The latter are represented by such aspects as:

• Matcha tea has a unique taste. The national sweetness of wasabi reveals it in the best possible way. The consumption of delicacies is carried out before the “ritual” of tea drinking.
• Tea (both weak and strong) is consumed “to the last drop.” The grounds (infusion) are no exception. It contains the maximum proportion of beneficial vitamins and minerals.

How to choose and brew matcha correctly

The market sells high-quality and not very fake drinks. The following tips will help you find original products:

• The composition does not include additional impurities and preservatives.
• The color of the tea should be rich and herbaceous.
• Grinding is fine and uniform. If there are large particles and inclusions, then it is a fake.
• High price. Low cost is a signal that the tea is not real. There will be no effect from it, although it will bring the necessary microelements to the body.

It is better to purchase tea that is grown in Japan, as it is considered to be of higher quality.

Classic recipe

The first method will allow you to get strong tea - koicha, and the second method - a weaker one, called usutya.

Cooking rules:

• Pass the brew through a special strainer, stirring with a spatula to prevent lumps from appearing.
• Place some matcha in a cup using a bamboo spoon called chashaku.
• Add water; its temperature should not be higher than 80 degrees.
• Whisk the mixture until smooth using a matcha tea whisk (also made from bamboo).

It is important to ensure that there are no tea grounds or lumps. Sweets served with tea help remove bitterness

There is no need to pour milk and add tea according to the classic recipe.

Usutya, i.e., weak matcha for 1 cup, is prepared at the rate of 2 grams of tea (1 teaspoon) per 70 milliliters of water. Drink with or without foam. Usutya is a light drink with more bitterness.

To prepare koitya, take 1 heaped teaspoon of tea leaves and add 70 ml of water. The tea is stirred slowly to prevent foam from appearing. It is necessary to use expensive raw materials, which are collected from old bushes. The matcha will be sweeter and softer.

How to brew without a whisk

There is not always a special whisk at home that is needed to stir the drink. This is not a reason to give up making matcha at home. Before brewing tea, you need to sift the powder. Then heat 70-80 ml of water to a temperature of +80 and pour in the raw materials for tea. The mass is lightly whipped with a spoon.

Next, you should pour the drink into a vessel that has a lid, add 40-50 ml of water, and shake like a cocktail.

Matcha with milk, or matcha latte

The culture of drinking tea is not complete without the use of milk, so this ingredient can also be added to matcha to get a tasty drink.

Ingredients:

• One glass each of water and milk (almond or plain).
• 2 tablespoons matcha powder.
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil.
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.
• 1 or 2 tablespoons honey.

Preparation:

• Boil water and let it cool for five minutes.
• Heat the milk.
• In one container, mix matcha powder, coconut oil and vanilla extract, then blend with a blender until smooth.
• Add water and milk, mix again.
• Add honey (to taste).

What kind of milk does Starbucks use?

1.5% if you ask for regular, and 0.5% if you ask for low fat. Cappuccino is made with this milk.

Ingredients of coconut milk : water, 10.4% coconut milk (24% fat), sugar , mixture of stabilizers: emulsifier E472c, stabilizer gellan gum (E418), stabilizer xanthan gum (E415); concentrated coconut juice, acidity regulator bicarbonate.

Ingredients of soy milk : water, hulled soybeans (6.5%), sugar, fructose, acidity regulator (dipotassium phosphate, monopotassium phosphate), calcium carbonate, sea salt, flavorings, stabilizer (gellan gum), Vitamins (E, D12, riboflafin (B2), B12). May contain traces of almonds and hazelnuts

If you ask for a drink with whipped butter cream , then its composition: butter cream - normalized cream, carrageenan stabilizer; vanilla syrup - sugar syrup , water, natural vanilla flavor, preservative (potassium sorbate E202), acidity regulator (citric acid E330)

How to brew correctly

To prepare tea, there is a special utensil, which must include a whisk made of thin bamboo rods. If you don’t drink this type of tea every day, you may not want to buy the whole set, but just buy one whisk. The main thing is to follow all stages of preparation.

First you need to buy good quality tea. The one that is intended for tea drinking, not cooking.

Take a fairly wide ceramic mug. A soup bowl will do.

Even if you want to make an iced drink or latte, remember that tea is best dissolved in hot water. Then you can dilute with ice or milk.

Boil some water. Then wait about a minute to cool slightly.

Before brewing tea, heat a bowl with hot water and pat dry.

Sift the tea. For one serving, it is enough to take 2 grams of tea leaves per 70-80 ml of water. Or 1 teaspoon of tea powder to 1/3 or 1/2 cups of water.

Pour in water and whisk vigorously, lightly touching the bottom. The tea should mix well in the water and become foamy.

Whisk the top layer to create fine foam bubbles on top. Make a circle on the surface of the drink and admire the result.

The drink can be drunk immediately. Small pieces of chocolate and cookies are served with tea.

Chai latte, like at Starbucks

In order to make this drink, you need the following ingredients:

• 200 ml. water and the same amount of milk;
• black tea - 2 tsp;
• 0.5 tsp. ground cardamom;
• 1 tsp. cinnamon;
• 6 carnation inflorescences;
• 0.5 tsp. ground ginger, maybe take a little more;
• less than 0.5 dessert spoon of crushed white pepper;
• 0.5 tsp. nutmeg powder;
• a pinch of star anise;
• crushed black pepper - on the tip of a dessert spoon;
• sugar or its substitute to taste.

You need to mix pepper, cloves, chopped cardamom pods, star anise, nutmeg in a small saucepan, pour in water and bring the mixture to a boil. After this, you need to reduce the heat, close the dish with a lid and cook for 7 minutes. Then pour in black tea and simmer for a few more minutes without turning up the heat.

While the tea is brewing, at the same time you need to heat the milk using a steam wand in the coffee maker. This process is quite delicate. You need to hold the nozzle over the milk for a few seconds, then lower the nozzle deeper so that the milk swirls. You need to continue until its temperature reaches 60 degrees. Ideally, you will use a special thermometer to measure your temperature.

If there are no special devices, milk can be heated in the microwave or on the stove. It is important that it does not burn, otherwise you won’t get tea like at Starbucks.

At the final stage, the drink should be strained, poured 2/3 into cups and added heated milk. It is possible to deviate a little from the recipe and diversify the taste of your Starbucks tea latte by adding different additives to suit your taste.

The benefits and harms of the drink

Tea made from holly leaves is perhaps the champion among drinks. It contains 196 different minerals, trace elements, acids and vitamins necessary for humans.

When using mate for weight loss, you should not completely give up food. Tea dulls the feeling of hunger, saturates the body with vitamins and microelements, but also actively removes many essential substances from it along with toxins.

Therefore, it must be used carefully. You can, for example, replace an afternoon snack or dinner with a drink, but you cannot completely deprive yourself of food

Positive effects of yerba

People who drink holly leaf tea have reported the following:

1. To recuperate, they need less time to sleep, which becomes deeper and more restful.
2. The feeling of hunger is dulled, which has a beneficial effect on people prone to obesity.
3. Relieves stress, improves mood.
4. Mate lovers believe that after consuming the drink they become more energetic and the feeling of fatigue goes away. During increased physical activity, there are no painful symptoms from the production of lactic acid in the muscles.
5. With its regular use, there is a noticeable improvement in the condition of hair and skin. (It’s not for nothing that today holly leaf extract is included in sunscreen, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory creams.)

The opinion of most doctors agrees that mate tea:

• increases immunity;
• improves digestion;
• cleanses the blood of waste and toxins, saturates it with oxygen;
• strengthens the walls of blood vessels;
• calms the nervous system.

Contraindications

Despite the fact that the drink has so many positive beneficial properties, it can be harmful.

For example, theophylline increases body temperature. In addition, it has a diuretic effect. Consequently, for diseases associated with fever, tea will aggravate the symptoms of the disease. And the diuretic property will remove medications from the body so quickly that it will minimize their effect.

The effect of yerba mate on people with diabetes is not entirely clear. In some cases, it was noted that in patients with type 2, blood sugar returned to normal after drinking tea. But opposite cases have also been reported. Therefore, it is best for diabetics to consult an endocrinologist before consuming yerba mate.

A drink made from Paraguayan holly leaves in combination with alcohol and smoking is absolutely contraindicated. Substances contained in cigarettes and strong drinks, when combined with infusion, give impetus to the development of cancer.

Doctors have found that people who have been diagnosed with:

• tendency to deposit salts;
• increased blood sugar;
• stomach ulcer;
• oncological diseases;
• kidney and bladder diseases (including cholecystitis);
• increased stomach acidity (for example, with gastritis).

It is not recommended to drink mate tea for pregnant and lactating women, as well as children.

People over 70 years of age should drink this drink with caution.

Since tea has a pronounced coloring effect, it is necessary to brush your teeth after drinking tea.

Normal for an adult

Mate is not a tea that you should drink several times a day every day. It will be useful only when it is consumed no more than 3 times a week and no more than 2 calabashes (recommended for Europeans who are not accustomed to this drink since childhood).

In Argentina or Paraguay, you can often find a person wandering around with a calabash and a thermos under his arm (mate can be brewed up to 9 times) and sipping yerba. Looking at him, it becomes clear that this does not bring him any harm, but only pleasure.

You should drink mate in small sips from the bottom of the calabash.

Do not drink tea very hot.

Tea time is set individually. You can pamper yourself in the morning - tea will give you energy and help you get into a working rhythm faster. Taking mate in the evening will help you get rid of the desire to have a big snack at night without disturbing your sleep patterns.

Older people should drink mate no more than once a week.

Positive effects of tea

"Latte" means "milk" in Italy. This ingredient must be added to the drink. It softens the effect of caffeine.

The drink has the following advantages compared to other drinks:

• Gives a boost of energy for the whole day;
• Helps women during lactation if there is not enough milk;
• Strengthens the immune system;
• Has a positive effect on health;
• Slows down aging;
• Tones;
• Increases appetite;
• Raises the mood.

Contraindications for drinking the drink: almost none. There is only intolerance to any ingredient that is part of the drink. In this case, tea should simply be excluded from the diet.

What is Matcha tea

Matcha (Matcha) is a type of green tea grown and processed using special technology. It is used during traditional ceremonies in Japan. Raw materials are also often added when preparing various gourmet dishes and drinks.

It is made from the leaves of the tencha plant, which is grown in shade. This is an important point when making real Matcha tea. If you dry the raw materials under the sun's rays, you can get Sencha or Gunpowder.

If all growing conditions are met, the prepared leaves are crushed on special stone millstones. The process is long, since the result should be a powder with particles not exceeding 10 microns. It takes a full hour of processing to create 40 grams.
