What are the ratios for Hot Matcha concentrate?

• A. 2,3,4,5
• B. 1,2,3,4
• C. 3,4,5,6
• D. 1,1,1,1

Answer: (A)

Ratios show how four ingredients should be combined in fixed parts, and you can scale them up or down while keeping the same balance. The set 2, 3, 4, 5 means for every 2 parts of the first ingredient, you use 3 parts of the second, 4 parts of the third, and 5 parts of the fourth. The total is 14 parts, so you can multiply each part by any factor to make more or less concentrate, preserving the flavor balance. For example, doubling gives 4, 6, 8, 10. This particular proportion creates the intended mix among the four components. Other options would change the relative amounts and alter the taste or texture of the concentrate, so they don’t match the recipe.
