Question

Can I just put the powder in cold water with lemon to drink?

Community Answer

No, in order for the ingredients to properly dissolve, the water temperature should be hot. After the ingredients are mixed, then you can let it cool.

How much is a "scoop?"

A scoop means the quantity of a specific bamboo spoon, called a chashaku. It is used making traditional matcha and is around 1/4th of a teaspoon.

Question

Can I put it in a tea bag and consume it like that?

Community Answer

You can try it, but it probably wouldn't work - it would be kind of like putting cocoa powder in a tea bag, or instant coffee in a French press.

Is it safe to drink matcha powder mixed with cold water?

Torpi

Yes, that's fine (though it might not be very flavourful). Just don't let it sit at room temperature for too long.

Can I put the matcha powder into a cup and pour hot water into it, then stirring?

Torpi

Yes. That's not traditional and you won't end up with any fancy foam, but you'll end up with drinkable tea.
