I want to start drinking tea more instead of coffee, I really like matcha tea but whenever I’ve had it it was with milk, but I want to drink more water and want to know if I can mix water and matcha tea?

Also I have a cold brew coffee maker, could I put the powder in the filter as I submerge it? How long would it last in the fridge (assuming I can)?

    Is this a specific country thingy?

    Historically matcha is tea, tea is matcha, the name used depends IIRC where it was brought to the specific European country by boat or by land. Or something like that.

    Where I live the matcha is thea with lots of (somehow specific) spices, usually made with milk, not an easy drink to make, neither fast, nor something you’d get everywhere.

    How do you do it?

      The word “tea” in Japanese and Chinese is cha (茶). Matcha is a Japanese green tea that goes through specific production steps, and the end result is very fine powder. To prepare matcha tea you mix matcha powder with hot water, traditionally, using a bamboo whisk.
