Short answer: To make matcha, sift about one teaspoon (1 to 3g) of matcha into a cup, add warm water and your sweetener of choice, whisk until smooth, then pour over milk if you want a latte, hot or cold. This is the exact three step ritual Bae Rituals builds every one of its nine matcha flavours around.
What You Actually Need?
You do not need a full tea ceremony setup to make good matcha at home. All you really need is Bae Rituals matcha powder, a small sifter or fine mesh strainer, warm water, a whisk, and milk if you want a latte. A bamboo whisk is traditional, but a small handheld frother works perfectly well too.
Step One: Scoop and Sift
Sift about one teaspoon, roughly 1 to 3g, of your Bae Rituals matcha into your cup. Sifting matters because matcha clumps easily, and unsifted powder leaves lumps that never fully dissolve, leading to an uneven, gritty cup.
Step Two: Water and Whisk
Add a small amount of warm water, ideally not boiling, along with your sweetener of choice such as honey or jaggery if you want one. Whisk briskly in a zigzag motion until the matcha is completely smooth and slightly frothy, with no dry clumps left behind.
Step Three: Pour and Pause
Pour your whisked matcha over milk of your choice, hot or cold, if you want a latte, or simply enjoy it as is. Then actually sit with it for a moment. Bae Rituals builds this pause into the ritual on purpose, since the whole point is a small break in your day, not just a caffeine delivery system.
A Few Tips for a Better Cup
Use water that is warm rather than boiling, since very hot water tends to pull out extra bitterness. Sift every single time, even if it feels like an extra step, since clumps are the most common cause of a disappointing cup. And do not rush the whisking, since a proper whisk is what gives matcha its smooth texture and light foam on top.
Hot, Iced, or Latte
All three preparations start the same way, by whisking matcha with a small amount of warm water first. From there, you can drink it hot as is, pour it over ice for a refreshing iced version, or top it with steamed or cold milk for a latte. Bae Rituals matcha is built to work well across all three styles, thanks to its Organic Ceremonial grade base.

FAQs
What is the correct water temperature for making matcha?
Warm water, generally well below boiling, works best, since very hot water tends to pull out extra bitterness from the leaf.
How much matcha powder should I use per cup?
Around one teaspoon, roughly 1 to 3g, is the standard amount Bae Rituals recommends per cup.
Do I need a bamboo whisk to make matcha properly?
It helps for a smooth, frothy texture, but a small handheld frother can work as a substitute.
Can all nine Bae Rituals flavours be made the same way?
Yes, every Bae Rituals flavour is built on the same Organic Ceremonial grade base, so the same scoop, sift, whisk, and pour method works across the entire range.
Which Bae Rituals flavour should a beginner start with?
Ceremindful is a good choice if you want to understand pure matcha flavour, while a fruit flavour like strawberry or offers a gentler, more familiar starting point.
