This hojicha tea latte recipe keeps it simple and accessible. No need for hard-to-pronounce ingredients or pricey gadgets.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tsp hojicha powder (or 2 tsp loose leaf hojicha if brewing)
- 3/4 cup milk (oat, almond, soy, or dairy—go with your favorite)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1–2 tsp sweetener (honey, maple syrup, sugar, or even monk fruit)
- Optional: 1/4 tsp vanilla extract, pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
🥄 Option 1: Using Hojicha Powder
- Heat 1/4 cup of water until hot, not boiling.
- Whisk 1 tsp hojicha powder with the hot water in your mug until smooth.
- Warm 3/4 cup milk in a saucepan or microwave (don’t boil).
Making a hojicha latte at home - Froth the milk using a frother or vigorously whisk.
- Pour the frothed milk into the mug and stir in 1–2 tsp sweetener.
- Optional: Add a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract.
🍃 Option 2: Using Loose Leaf Hojicha
- Simmer 2 tsp loose leaf hojicha in 1/2 cup water for 3–5 minutes.
- Strain into your mug.
- Steam and froth 3/4 cup milk, then pour it over the tea.
- 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.
