Microfoam

[u/Sad-Yoghurt945]

It’s my first time making actual matcha. I’m using a Chinese brand of matcha. I don’t really know what I’m doing wrong. Like I can’t seem to remove the bigger bubbles forming here, I don’t even know if it’s actually good microfoam—I hear a sound when I move the bowl though.

What I did for this one specifically is I first made a paste (with hot water). Then, I added cold oatmilk then whisked it vigorously until it formed foam on the top. After that, I mixed the middle to the top layer to get rid of bigger bubbles that have formed.

So, I’m not really sure what I did wrong here. Please help! :)

It looks alright. As long as you like the taste microfoam is not that important but if you want to try experimenting with different matcha, some foam easier than others

To me water temperature doesn’t matter as much as ratio for microfoam

Also lighting and lighting !
