Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons Hojicha tea leaves
• 1 cup Water
• 1 cup Skim milk
• 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by bringing 1 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan.

Step 2

Add 2 teaspoons of hojicha tea leaves to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

While the tea is steeping, warm the skim milk in another saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn't scorch.

Step 4

Optional: Add 1 teaspoon of honey and 0.25 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the milk for added sweetness and flavor.

Step 5

Once the hojicha tea has steeped, strain the tea leaves using a fine sieve or a tea strainer directly into a mug.

Step 6

Use a milk frother or small whisk to foam the warmed milk. Aim for a light and airy texture.

Step 7

Pour the frothed milk over the brewed hojicha in the mug, holding back the foam with a spoon, then spoon the foam on top.

Step 8

Stir gently to combine, if desired, and serve immediately.
