How to Make a Hojicha Latte

There’s something quietly comforting about hojicha.

Warm, nutty, slightly roasted—
a softer kind of energy.

Here’s how to make a clean, balanced hojicha latte at home or in your café.

Ingredients

• 2g hojicha powder

• 30ml warm water (not boiling, around 70–80°C)

• 180ml milk (dairy or plant-based)

• Ice cubes

• Optional: 10–15ml syrup (adjust to taste)

Method

1. Sift the hojicha powder
   This helps remove clumps and creates a smoother texture.

2. Add warm water
   Pour over the hojicha powder.

3. Whisk until smooth
   Use a bamboo whisk or milk frother until fully dissolved and slightly frothy.

4. Prepare your glass
   Fill a glass with ice.

5. Add milk
   Pour milk over the ice.

6. Combine
   Gently pour the hojicha mixture over the milk.

7. Optional sweetness
   Add syrup if desired, and stir lightly.

A good hojicha latte shouldn’t feel heavy.

It should feel soft, layered—
with that subtle roasted note coming through, not covered.

If you’re working with high-quality hojicha,
you’ll taste the difference immediately.

Simple, but intentional.
