Black Sugar Hojicha Latte
This Black Sugar Hojicha Latte combines sweet, caramel black sugar syrup with the smoky, nutty, earthy flavors of hojicha. It is great for sipping on pretty much just about any time!
Servings: serving
Ingredients
- 2 tsp (4 gr) hojicha powder
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) hot water, 175F/80℃
- 1-2 tbsp kuromitsu (black sugar syrup)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
- Ice cubes
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.
- Drizzle kuromitsu over the sides of the serving glass. Add ice cubes and milk, followed by the hojicha mixture. Enjoy!
Notes
If you don't have kuromitsu, you can substitute it with brown sugar syrup or other sweeteners.
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.
