Making your matcha the night before you drink may save you some time but you’re gonna regret it.

It’s going to end up flat and oxidized and if you add milk too early, it’s going to separate.

If you know you need matcha later in the day but can’t make it before hand, a few hours ahead won’t hurt.

I find it best to make the matcha concentrate/tea first and add everything else when you’re ready to drink the matcha latte or serve it.

🔆This apparently wasn’t as fun for my little sister as it was for me 😂 She blindly tasted 4 different kinds of matchas.

The first was Trader Joe’s Jeju instant matcha latte (no thank you), the second was naoki chiran harvest (that’s the one I let her use when I’m not home 😂). The third was one of my favorites, ippodo’s Sayaka, and the last was a bottle of uji matcha latte from UCC that I got from H-mart (🫥🫥).

I was curious if she could tell the difference. I even had her guess which was which but the video was running long 😂 maybe I’ll post it another time. I’ll just annoy her with this for now🔆

🔆These are just 5 of the many mistakes I’ve made when first learning to make matcha lattes at home.

I’m not saying you need to follow all these tips in order to have a good matcha latte at home. But I’ve had good experiences with them and I hope they can help you out.

There’s sooooo much more I can add to this but it would be a really long video 😂

But I think these are some of the most important and probably easiest fixes I can share to make a better matcha latte at home.

1. You have to start with a high quality matcha powder.
2. Keep your matcha in an airtight container and keep it in a cool dry place. The fridge is good for that.
3. Sift your matcha!! You don’t want to be chewing on matcha powder
4. Don’t burn your matcha powder with boiling water. 170-175 deg F is best and a temperature controlled kettle really helps with this.
5. Try using oat or skim milk. They have really milk flavors and let the matcha shine! Happy whisking!! 🔆

I didn’t go into the renaissance faire with a budget but we did pretty good.

It was more like a medieval food tour for us.

Lots of good drinks and good food, and I added a piece to my outfit and a tankard to bring to Maryland when we return to the renaissance faire next year!

The food was cheaper than we expected and luckily didn’t hurt our pockets too much. by @bonbrimatcha

There were some hits and misses at the renaissance faire in Maryland this year.

I think we ate more food than did anything else while we were there, and it was worth it.

I love the food, I love the people. It’s such a fun way to play dress up and drink! by @bonbrimatcha

This was my second time attending the Renaissance Faire in Maryland and I was so excited to dress up!

There were so many amazing outfits just like last year but I was too nervous to ask everyone I saw for a quick video 👉🏾👈🏾

Here’s just some of the incredible pieces I saw at the Renaissance Faire. It’s so cool to see how much effort everyone puts in to their costumes.

Of course you don’t have to dress up to come to the Renaissance Faire but I think it really adds to the experience! by @bonbrimatcha

Sorate in Union square is a tea house that has been on my must visit list for a long time. Many people put the matcha in their favorite spot. I was so curious what made this matcha later so good. To start, the vibe of the tea house was just intensely calming. Serene and traditionally inspired, I felt like I could only whisper inside. The staff was patient when I was looking over the menu and didn’t rush the ritual of making the matcha latte. I got a 12oz iced matcha with oat milk and agave. A little disappointing that the default milk is whole milk and you have to pay extra oat or almond because I feel like those alternative milks let the matcha flavor shine. Sweetener was available upon request and I appreciated that the matcha latte wasn’t heavily sweetened. I really got to enjoy the strong nutty flavor of their unique matcha. There was limited seating inside but they had some benches outside to sit on. It’s the perfect stop if you’re in union square and want to get a matcha latte without a lot of fluff. It was a simple, really delicious matcha. I would love to go back and try some of their other teas. taken in Union Square, NYC by @bonbrimatcha

I’m starting to incorporate matcha lattes back into my morning rituals. I was fasting for a bit and I don’t drink matcha on an empty stomach.

I’m back to eating breakfast and having a matcha before I go to work, which is is exactly what I like 😂

The easiest way to start a good Sunday for me and with a matcha latte.

I love to make matcha at home because I feel like it’s always exactly how I like to make matcha. But it’s always nice to treat myself to matcha that someone else made.

This is @onemoresip.cafe in Scarsdale, NY. I’ve been here a handful of times and I really appreciate that their matcha is hand whisked and made to order.

Come here for a slow start to your day and enjoy their matcha lattes. Mine was strawberry flavored. I got it extra sweet this time and I liked it.

I think my sister is starting to love matchas as much as I do. I thought it would be a nice special treat for her birthday to make her favorite matcha for her which is a strawberry matcha latte.

I usually only do 3 grams of matcha powder but this time I did 6 grams to make it extra special.

My milk to ice to matcha ratio was a little off though so I kept spilling the matcha.

But she enjoyed the matcha and that’s all that matters.

These matcha treats are from a little shop in the food court of a Japanese market in Edgewater, NJ.

I’m always reluctant to try matcha flavored things because a lot of companies jump on the bandwagon without really caring about the quality of the matcha they use.

I felt like these were worth trying. There was so much care put into the packaging and the description of each treat. I didn’t love all of the matcha treats but it was so fun to try.
