Servings: serving
Ingredients
- 2 tsp (4 gr) hojicha powder
- 1/6 cup (40 ml) hot water, 175℉/80℃
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
- Ice cubes
- Sweetener of choice, optional
- 2 scoops banana pudding
- Vanilla wafers, crushed
Instructions
- Add hojicha and hot water into a spouted bowl. Use a bamboo whisk (chasen) to whisk briskly, drawing a letter W or Z, until no lumps remain and a little foamy. You can also use a milk frother or small whisk if you don't have the bamboo whisk. Set aside.
- Add milk, ice cubes, and sweetener into the serving glass. Pour in the hojicha mixture.
- Add scoops of banana pudding and crushed vanilla wafers on top. Serve immediately.
Notes
The idea brewing temperature for hojicha is between 175F/80℃ and 185F/85℃. This allows the tea to release its smoky, roasted flavors while avoiding bitterness.
Sweetener options. You can sweeten the latte with simple syrup, honey, or maple syrup, or by whisking granulated sugar with the matcha powder and hot water.
Milk options. Use whole or skim dairy milk, soy milk, almond milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, or oat milk in your iced matcha latte, depending on your taste.
