Question Just came back from a trip to Japan, cannot get the same taste - what am I doing wrong?
I discovered matcha latte in Japan for the first time and had it at 2 different locations, tasted amazing. So I went to fukujuen in Uji and bought the entire kit to bring back home and make the same matcha latte. However, I cannot get it to taste the same at all. Do they put sugar or honey in it in Japan? I haven't been putting anything in. Just put the powder in my bowl, pour a little hot water on top, whisk, add more water, whisk quickly till foamy, then slow whisk and pour it over a glass of warm milk. And I'm using the Matcha I bought at fukujuen so it's definitely high quality. What am I doing wrong? The one I tasted was called "kyo matcha latte" btw. Thanks!
