Yes, there is also a reason as to why I used room-temperature water over boiling water. Firstly, it is very hard to dissolve matcha in a cold liquid. Secondly, hot boiling water ruins the flavour of matcha.
3. USE A GLASS JAR (NOT STAINLESS STEEL )
We place matcha and water in a jar and shake it (not stir) to dissolve. This must be done in a glass jar over a stainless steel shaker because the colour and taste of matcha is ruined when it comes into contact with metal. This happens because of tannins (biomolecule found in plants) in matcha react to metal and can give matcha a metallic taste and black colour.
