Chef's Tips

Adjust the amount of hojicha tea leaves to your desired strength.

For a richer latte, use full-fat milk or add a splash of cream.

Experiment with different sweeteners like brown sugar or coconut sugar.

Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dusting of hojicha powder for extra flavor and visual appeal.

Store any leftover hojicha concentrate in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
