Usucha (traditional)

Sift 2g. Add 60–80ml water at 70–80°C, whisk until frothy.

Latte (hot)

Sift 2–3g. Whisk with 30ml warm water, then add 150–200ml steamed milk (or oat milk).

Iced latte (easy)

Mix 2–3g with 30ml water, add ice + 150–200ml cold milk. Shake in a bottle for a café-style latte.
