Refreshing Hojicha Tea Latte Recipes Everyone Will Enjoy

Today, I want to share a delightful drink that has gained popularity for its unique flavor and soothing qualities—the Hojicha Latte. Whether you enjoy it iced or hot, this beverage is perfect for any occasion. Let’s dive into this cozy recipe that will warm your heart and taste buds!

Hojicha Latte (Iced and Hot)

Hojicha is a Japanese green tea that is roasted to produce a beautiful brown color and a rich, toasty flavor. It has less caffeine than traditional green tea, making it a perfect choice for any time of day. Here’s how to make your very own Hojicha Latte!

Ingredients for Hojicha Latte

2 teaspoons hojicha powder
1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
1 to 2 teaspoons sweetener (like honey or maple syrup)
Hot water (to dissolve the hojicha powder)
Ice (if serving iced)

Instructions for Preparing Hojicha Latte

Start by boiling a small amount of water in a kettle. You only need about 2 to 3 tablespoons to dissolve the hojicha powder.
In a bowl, add the hojicha powder and pour in the hot water. Whisk it well until the powder is completely dissolved, forming a smooth hojicha liquid.
In a separate pot or microwave, heat the milk until it’s warm but not boiling. If you’re going for an iced version, you can skip this and use cold milk.
Once the milk is heated, pour it into a serving glass or cup, and add the sweetener to taste.
Next, add the dissolved hojicha liquid to the milk, stirring gently to combine the flavors.
If you’re making an iced version, fill a glass with ice before adding the milk and hojicha mixture. Stir to mix everything well.
Finally, give it a taste and adjust the sweetness if needed. Enjoy your homemade Hojicha Latte!

This creamy, flavorful drink is sure to become a favorite in your household. With its wonderful roasted notes and comforting warmth, it’s a perfect way to unwind and recharge. Enjoy crafting this latte in your kitchen and share it with loved ones!
