A comforting Hojicha Latte recipe offering both hot and iced variations, blending roasted green tea powder with milk and sweetener for a smooth, frothy beverage perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Iced Hojicha Latte

  • 1 teaspoon hojicha powder
  • 2 oz hot water
  • 1 teaspoon liquid sweetener
  • 10 oz milk
  • ice as needed

Hot Hojicha Latte

  • 10 oz milk
  • 1 teaspoon hojicha powder
  • 2 oz hot water
  • 1 teaspoon liquid sweetener

Instructions

  1. Prepare Hojicha Mixture: In a small bowl or chawan, sift the hojicha powder to remove any clumps. Add the hot water and liquid sweetener, then whisk briskly in an "M" motion using a bamboo whisk for 10-15 seconds until the mixture turns frothy.
  2. Make Iced Latte: Fill a glass halfway with ice. Pour milk into the glass until about two-thirds full. Slowly pour the prepared hojicha mixture over the milk and stir gently to combine before enjoying.
  3. Heat and Froth Milk for Hot Latte: Warm milk using a milk steamer or frother. If unavailable, heat milk on the stovetop or microwave just until it begins to simmer. Use a handheld frother to froth the milk for 20-30 seconds, or pour warm milk into a mason jar and shake vigorously for 30 seconds to create froth.
  4. Assemble Hot Latte: Pour the hojicha mixture into a mug. Slowly add the steamed and frothed milk on top. Stir gently to blend the flavors before serving.

Notes

  • Use a fine sieve to sift hojicha powder for a smoother latte texture.
  • Adjust the liquid sweetener amount to taste or substitute with honey or maple syrup.
  • For a vegan version, substitute milk with almond, oat, or soy milk.
  • Use freshly heated water around 185°F (85°C) to preserve hojicha’s delicate flavor.
  • For extra frothiness in the iced version, shake the hojicha mixture vigorously before pouring over milk.
