A staff favorite for years, it’s officially on the Tea Bar menu! Here’s how you can enjoy a hojicha latte for those blustery days when you are just too cozied up at home to make it downtown.

Making a Hojicha Tea Latte

Ingredients:

• 2-3g Hojicha Powder (~1t.)
• 50g – 185°F (85°C) Water
• 10g (2t.) Brown Sugar
• 200g – Milk of your Choice

Equipment:

• Tea Kettle (preferably temp controlled)
• Matcha Bowl and Matcha Whisk -OR- Mason Jar
• Milk Frother – we like this one.
• Mug

Directions:

1. Bring your kettle up to 185°F (85°C)
2. While it’s warming up, heat your milk either on the stove in a small sauce pan, or in the microwave (1 min 30 sec) in a mug.
3. Add hojicha to your mason jar or matcha bowl, add the water, and whisk until a foam forms – just like you would for matcha.
4. Use the milk froather to get the milk nice and frothy.
5. Add the brown sugar and hojicha to the mug and stir until the sugar dissolves.
6. Layer the milk on top.

Enjoy!
