How to use
1. Whisk the Powder
Sift 2 tsp of hojicha powder into a bowl. Add 60 ml of hot water (75°C) not too hot - and whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
If you are feeling wild, our favourite ratio is 2,5g of Matcha or Hojicha for 28g of water for a more thick and creamy paste, intense flavor
2. Steam Your Milk
Heat 2/3 cup of your favorite milk until creamy with microfoam.
3. Pour & Enjoy
Slowly pour the steamed milk over the whisked hojicha. Sweeten to taste if you want!
