Iced Hojicha Latte
Description
This recipe creates an Iced Hojicha Latte by first preparing a strong hojicha tea infusion. Using either two tea bags steeped in hot water or hojicha powder whisked with hot water ensures a rich tea base. The brewed tea is cooled before assembling the latte.
The latte is built by adding ice to a glass, then pouring the cooled hojicha tea over it. Milk or a non-dairy alternative is frothed separately to create light foam, which tops the iced tea that is then stirred before drinking. The drink balances the smoky, roasted notes of hojicha with creamy, cold milk for a smooth and mild texture.
Optional whipped cream garnish adds richness and indulgence if desired, complementing the tea's flavor.
The recipe keeps the drink unsweetened to emphasize the smoky tea, but sweeteners can be added according to preference.
