Hello,
I am looking for a good method for infusing Matcha Japanese tea (i think is powdered).
Thank.
QUESTION ABOUT INFUSING JAPANESE MATCHA GREEN TEA

Just add water, hon.
Actually, to be a bit more detailed (I was half asleep last night), add hot water, but not boiling. It should be hot enough to burn your lips on the first over-enthusiastic sip, but not as hot as water for black tea.
You don't infuse matcha. Boil water, rinse a bowl, pour some water in a mug or something. Put a ts of powder in the bowl, and pour water (from the mug) on it to fill 1/.3 to 1/2 of the bowl. Then you whisk it like capuccino till it looks like a green capuccino. Use a chasen, bamboo instrument specially made for that, if you have one. Serve immediatly with a little sweet cake.
