5 ways to make matcha tea without a whisk

Here are five ways to make matcha tea without a whisk. I’m really excited to share this with you because I want everyone to have the chance to enjoy matcha as much as I do.

Sometimes I’ll have the matcha tea just like that; other times, I’ll mix in some warm oat or nut milk.

1. With a fork

So, this is definitely the most laborious route. By hey, you have to do what you have to do.

If you’re going this route, I’d recommend starting by making a paste with the powder and as little water as possible. Add in a little more water as you go.

Mash the powder into the water with your fork to make a smooth paste, with a consistency close to honey. Slowly but surely, add in the rest of the water. This technique is the best way to avoid getting lumps. Once you have a thick paste, you can then add in more water or milk, depending on what type of matcha drink you’re making.

Just take it slow and easy. You’ll get a great result in the end.

2. Use a food blender

I would only suggest using a food blender if you’re planning to make up a big quantity.

Using this powerful piece of equipment is excellent if you want to add the milk and other ingredients in one go.

Of course, the result will be silky smooth.

3. With a milk frother

A milk frother seems flimsy, but it’s actually such a nifty little tool. It’s a really great option to use with matcha powder. You can use it with hot or cold water as a first step, followed by adding the milk. You’ll get a silky consistency every time.

This is another great piece of equipment if you’re only looking to blend a little bit.

4. With an immersion blender

This is a great option if you’re wanting to mix up small quantities, especially if you want to layer your matcha for a pretty ombre effect.

Add your matcha and water to the immersion blending jug and blend until smooth and lump-free.

This is also great if you want to blend in some milk and it really gets the matcha to a super smooth consistency.

5. Use a mason jar, and shake!

This is actually a really great way to make lump-free matcha drink. I start off by mixing up the matcha and hot water with a little whisk or form.

Once I am happy with a smooth mixture, I will add that to a mason jar, leaving a gap in the jar.

I then seal the lid and shake it like my life depends on it! I do this for between 30 and 60 seconds to make a lovely lump-free matcha latte.

FAQ

Why must matcha be whisked?

You need to whisk matcha to combine it well with the liquid elements of your recipe. Whisking the matcha is a way to combine the powder and liquid in a way that results in a lump-free blend.

Can you just mix matcha with a spoon?

You can, as long as you take it slow with adding in the liquid, a spoon will work. You can try mixing a little water and matcha together with a spoon to first create a little paste.

After that, you can slowly add in more liquid. Adding everything in slowly is the best way to get a lump-free mixture.

What happens if you don’t whisk matcha?

If you don’t whisk your matcha, you will probably land up with a lumpy drink. Matcha takes a lot of getting used to as it is, in terms of its flavor profile. Trying to get used to matcha while contending with lumps is not what I would recommend.

Wrapping it up!

The incredible benefits are well worth figuring out how to make matcha tea without a whisk. Have a go with one of the methods, depending on which pieces of equipment you have in your kitchen at home. 

Hey, at the very least, you know you can make up your matcha tea with a teaspoon or fork.
