I make matcha with a tiny whisk. I put a little hot water in the cup, then the matcha, then whisk it, then poor more water in and add the stuff I like: I usually add turmeric tincture (homemade) and ginger powder to make it spicy. Then I add a teaspoon of honey and oat milk. I love the full fat Oatley brand and if that's not available, their original. It doesn't have sugar. I have found natural sugars are much more tolerable. Also green tea doesn't seem to bother my guts but black tea can be a little rough if I have it strong and daily, so I don't do that any more. I don't have a frother or any special gear. Just a teapot and a whisk, though sometimes I just use a fork. I also add collagen and l-glutamine to my drink to help strengthen connective tissue and repair the gut lining, respectively. The spices help disguise the taste of those things, plus turmeric/black pepper tincture and ginger are good for joint pain! So my morning matcha is basically a big cup of yummy medicine.
