For BrewNova culinary grade matcha, use 175°F (80°C) water—not boiling—and sift the powder to prevent clumps. Whisk in a zigzag motion for 15–20 seconds until frothy, using 1–2 teaspoons per 8 oz of milk or water. Taste as you go; culinary grade handles bold flavors, so a little sweetener or milk balances it well.
