Directions

Step 1

Start by bringing 1 cup of water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Once simmering, add 2 tablespoons of hojicha tea leaves to the water.

Step 3

Allow the tea to steep for about 5 minutes, adjusting the time according to how strong you like your tea.

Step 4

While the tea is steeping, in another saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over low to medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it come to a boil.

Step 5

Once the milk is heated, froth it using a milk frother or an immersion blender until it becomes creamy and slightly foamy.

Step 6

Strain the hojicha tea into a mug, discarding the tea leaves.

Step 7

Add 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the strained tea and stir well.

Gently pour the frothed milk over the sweetened tea, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a layered effect, then spoon the foam on top.
