🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Infuse the Lavender
-
In a small pot, add milk and lavender buds.
-
Heat gently for 3–4 minutes — avoid boiling.
-
Let steep for 2 more minutes, then strain to remove buds.
-
You now have a subtly floral, naturally scented milk base.
2️⃣ Prepare the Matcha
-
Sift 1 tsp (2 g) of matcha into your Chawan with the Furui (Sifter).
-
Add 60 ml (2 oz) of hot water (~77 °C / 170 °F).
-
Whisk in a “W” motion using your Chasen until smooth and lightly frothy.
3️⃣ Combine and Sweeten
-
Pour the lavender-infused milk slowly into your whisked matcha.
-
Add honey or maple syrup if desired.
-
Froth the top lightly for a creamy texture.
4️⃣ Serve Mindfully
-
Pour into a ceramic cup or glass.
-
Sprinkle a few dried lavender buds or a dusting of matcha powder.
-
Take a deep breath before your first sip — calm starts here.
🌸 Pro Tips for Perfect Flavor
-
Use food-grade lavender only. Avoid ornamental or synthetic versions.
-
Don’t over-steep. Too long makes the flavor bitter and soapy.
-
Oat milk enhances the creaminess without overpowering the lavender.
-
Cool slightly before whisking to preserve matcha’s bright green color.
-
Add vanilla extract for a delicate dessert-like aroma.
🌼 Variations to Try
-

🧽 Cleaning and Care
-
Rinse your Chawan and Chasen right after use.
-
Avoid soap on bamboo; rinse with warm water and air-dry upright.
-
Clean the Furui gently with a dry cloth to remove powder residue.
