Method

  1. Sift 2g of matcha into a sealable bottle or jar.

  2. Add 250ml of cold filtered water.

  3. Seal and shake hard for 20 seconds until fully dissolved.

  4. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  5. Shake again before serving over ice.

Cold extraction pulls less of the bitter compounds. Use ceremonial grade for the best result.Almanac note

Made it?

Keep the ratio that worked

The journal keeps this bowl (grams, water, temperature, and how it actually tasted) on this device, so the next one starts from what worked. It builds a 13-week heatmap as you go, and it is free and unlimited. Premium adds the tin cellar, so each bowl is costed against the tin you actually poured it from.
