Hojicha Roasted Green Tea

Hojicha Roasted Green Tea is made by sifting roasted hojicha powder into hot water, then whisking it until foamy, creating a smooth, aromatic tea base. It can be served simply as tea or with steamed milk for a creamy latte, sweetened optionally to taste. The roasting imparts a toasty flavor unique to hojicha, creating a comforting, mild green tea experience.

Ingredients

  • ½ teaspoon hojicha green tea powder sifted, roasted
  • ¼ C water hot
  • ¼ C water or steamed milk of your choice, for a latte
  • 1-2 teaspoon sweetener optional, to your taste, including honey, sugar, maple syrup, agave syrup, etc

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Use a chashaku (bamboo tea scoop) to add the hojicha powder to sieve placed over a chawan (tea bowl).
  2. Sift the hojicha into a chawan (tea bowl) to remove any clumps.
  3. Pour about ¼ C hot water into the chawan (tea bowl) and gently press the chasen (whisk) against the bottom of the bowl.
  4. Move the chasen in a zig zag motion until the liquid becomes foamy.
  5. Or use an electric whisk/frother to froth it up.
  6. Add remaining hot water, or steamed milk of your choice.
  7. Sweeten with honey, sugar, maple syrup, or sweetener of your choice, to your taste.

Notes

  • Adjust hojicha powder amount to suit your preferred tea strength, starting lighter if new to hojicha.
  • Roasting provides a milder, less bitter flavor compared to non-roasted green teas.
  • Sweeten with honey, sugar, or syrup to enhance taste if desired.
