Matcha: grams per teaspoon for lattes and baking
Matcha is a finely milled green tea powder — light at about 96 g per cup and roughly 2 g per teaspoon. A single latte or bowl uses about 1 to 2 teaspoons. Ceremonial grade is smoother and meant for whisking with just water, while culinary grade is stronger and cheaper, made for lattes, smoothies and baking.
Matcha clumps easily, so sift it before whisking or folding it into batter for a smooth, lump-free result.
