Matcha Microfoam
- Place a coffee scale on your counter, put your matcha bowl on top, power it on, and zero it out.
- Sift high-quality ceremonial-grade matcha into the bowl to prevent any clumps.
- Heat water to no more than 175°F (ideally 170°F) to avoid scorching the matcha.
- Add 30 grams of the hot water, evenly distributing it over the matcha.
- Whisk rapidly in a W or M pattern (avoiding circular motions) until a smooth microfoam forms.
Poor Person's Blackberry Jam
- Take a pint of blackberries and squash them thoroughly.
- Coat the squashed blackberries with a little bit of sugar so the sugar draws out all of the natural juices.
- Squeeze them well and use the resulting mixture in the bottom of your glass.
