What is kitchen grade matcha?
Kitchen grade matcha, our most economical selection, is made with less delicate tealeaves, has a
stronger flavor and is ideal for using in cooking, baking and mixing
with food applications and supplements. Kitchen grade matcha contains astringent componants which render it unsuitable for tea with water. This bulk product is ideal for large scale production of food and beverage applications.
Why sift matcha?
For the same reason bakers sift flour before using. The static
electricity in the air encourages powders (be it flour, baking powder,
cocoa, etc) to stick together and form clumps. The same is true with
matcha green tea powder. Sifting matcha smoothes it out and lets it
blend better into your drink or cooking recipe.
Matcha Green Tea Latte – Hot or Cold
Add 8 oz steamed milk to 1 tsp Dakota Matcha™. For best results mix matcha powder with 1 tbsp hot water in the bottom of your cup, then add steamed milk. When using an electric frother, add milk to matcha and froth in a tall glass. Pour over ice for a chilled Iced Green Tea Latte. Sweeten to taste.
