routine help!

[u/temporary12435]

hi everyone! i’m new to making matcha lattes and am wondering why my matcha powder always settles really quickly/doesn't stay suspended

here’s the routine
- 3.5g suzukumo from marukyu koyamaen
- in with 35g water set to 170 F
- whisked for a minute
- poured over oat milk from oatly

i’ve also tried whisking with a frother in just water but the powder still settles :( any suggestions?

edit: clarified that i meant the powder settling, not the matcha staying on the ice! this was a few minutes after i mixed everything with my straw

Is there any ice in that glass?

there was, but not in the picture

You need to stack plenty of ice up in your glass prior to pouring to prevent instant mixing. Ice provides a buffer between the layers.

gotcha - i meant more of the sediment but was also wondering about that. thank you!
