Here are five different ways to easily make matcha without a whisk. You can still achieve perfectly blended and frothy matcha without a matcha whisk with these methods!
Add your matcha powder and a small amount of hot water (about 2-3 tablespoons) to the jar, seal it tightly, then shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to create a smooth matcha paste without any lumps.
Once the matcha powder is fully dissolved, add the rest of the hot water and shake the jar for another 15-20 seconds to thoroughly mix the matcha paste with the hot water.
Blender Method
Add matcha powder and water to a blender pitcher and blend on low speed for 15-20 seconds to dissolve the powder and create a smooth mixture.
Then, increase the speed to high and blend for an additional 30 seconds to create froth and ensure thorough mixing. If you're having trouble blending it smooth, you may need to use a small blender or make a larger batch for best results.
Immersion Blender Method
Start by adding the matcha into a cup or bowl. Pour over hot water and insert the immersion blender, making sure the blades are fully submerged in the liquid.
Turn on the immersion blender and blend the matcha mixture on low speed initially to dissolve the matcha powder. Once dissolved, increase the speed to high and continue blending for 30 seconds to create froth.
Milk Frother Method
Add your matcha and hot water to a cup or bowl. Insert the milk frother, ensuring it's fully submerged in the liquid. Turn it on and whisk the matcha mixture for about 15-20 seconds, moving the frother around to ensure even mixing.
Hand Whisk Method
Add your matcha powder and hot water to a bowl. Using a regular whisk, begin whisking vigorously in a zigzag motion, ensuring to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to fully incorporate the matcha powder.
Whisk for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the matcha becomes frothy and reaches a vibrant green color.
