Method

  1. Sift 3g of matcha into a bowl.

  2. Add 50ml of water at 75 degrees Celsius and whisk for 20 seconds.

  3. Steam 120ml of whole milk to a glossy microfoam at about 60 degrees Celsius.

  4. Pour the matcha into a 180ml flat white cup.

  5. Pour the milk slowly to keep the foam thin and even.

The extra gram of matcha pushes the flavor through the milk. Use a quality grade.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.
