Hojicha Latte
Indulge in the warm embrace of a Hojicha Latte, a delightful blend of roasted green tea and creamy milk. Originating from Japan, hojicha is made by roasting green tea leaves, giving it a unique nutty flavor and a beautiful brown hue. This comforting beverage is perfect for cozy evenings or a refreshing afternoon pick-me-up. With its rich aroma and smooth texture, each sip transports you to a serene Japanese tea house.
Ingredients
- Hojicha powder
- 2 tablespoons
- Hot water
- 1/2 cup
- Milk (whole, almond, or oat)
- 1 cup
- Sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 1-2 tablespoons, to taste
- Ground cinnamon (optional)
- a pinch, for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the hojicha powder and hot water until smooth and no lumps remain.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the milk is hot but not boiling, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the sugar to the hot milk, stirring until fully dissolved. Adjust sweetness to your liking.
- Divide the hojicha mixture between two mugs, filling each about halfway.
- Pour the hot milk into the mugs, stirring gently to combine the hojicha and milk thoroughly.
- For an added touch, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top before serving.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your soothing Hojicha Latte!
Tips
- For a frothy latte, use a milk frother or whisk the hot milk vigorously before combining it with the hojicha.
- Experiment with different types of milk for varied flavors; oat milk adds a lovely creaminess!
- For a sweeter treat, try adding a drizzle of honey or maple syrup instead of sugar.
