# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The natural caffeine gives you focused energy without the jitters or afternoon crash
  • Whisking the matcha creates this incredibly satisfying froth that makes every sip feel luxurious
  • You can customize the sweetness and milk to make it exactly your style every single time
02 -
  • I learned the hard way that dumping matcha directly into hot milk creates stubborn lumps that never fully dissolve
  • The temperature of your water matters more than I thought—too hot and the matcha turns bitter, too cool and it won't properly dissolve
03 -
  • Sift your matcha powder through a small fine-mesh strainer before whisking to prevent any stubborn clumps
  • Invest in a bamboo whisk if you make this regularly—the prongs are designed specifically to create that perfect froth
