  4. Froth the milk using a frother or vigorously whisk.
  5. Pour the frothed milk into the mug and stir in 1–2 tsp sweetener.
  6. Optional: Add a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract.

🍃 Option 2: Using Loose Leaf Hojicha

  1. Simmer 2 tsp loose leaf hojicha in 1/2 cup water for 3–5 minutes.
  2. Strain into your mug.
  3. Steam and froth 3/4 cup milk, then pour it over the tea.
  4. Sweeten to taste and stir gently.

Boom—latte magic. Now breathe in that toasty aroma and take a sip.

Notes

  • Sweetness: Adjust sweetener to taste—hojicha is naturally mellow and may not need much.
  • Milk Options: Oat milk gives the best froth and creaminess, but any milk works.
  • Flavor Tip: A touch of vanilla or cinnamon really elevates the roasted notes.
  • Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but brewed tea base can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
