Tried Matcha and didn't like it.

After reading Joels post on making matcha for about the 100th time, I decided to go buy a kit. So I did, and I made a cup. A few days and a few cups later, I just couldn't make myself drink it anymore. It's just too green, too strong. Even when I try making it with less matcha powder, it's just too green. This is disappointing, I was really looking forward to making a habit out of it

If you don't like the bitter taste of matcha as is, you can also mix it with hot or cold milk and something to sweeten it (sugar, spenda, etc.). Maybe dissolve it in a couple of spoonfulls of hot water in the bottom of the glass before you add the milk. You can also add a spoonful of it to a vanilla milkshake.

I have used honey. That really gives the flavor a boost.

I do the very same thing. Just a drop though, not to much or it will ruin the whole cup.
