hot water. In a separate bowl, mix 2 tsp. matcha and 1/2 cup hot water for Koicha. Or mix
1/2 tsp. and 1/4 cup hot water for Usucha. Whip tea to a froth with a whisk, pour it into the
warm tea bowl, and drink immediately.

under the boiling point. Combine with 3/4 cup steamed milk. Serve in latté bowl, matcha
bowl or deep mug. Sweeten with honey or sugar if desired. Makes 1 cup.
