Most of this film takes place in a garden on rainy mornings. Hojicha is a good drink for a morning like that. Roasting the green tea leaves lowers the caffeine and gives the tea a taste close to toasted grain.
Steps
- Sift the hojicha powder into a bowl so there are no lumps.
- Add the hot water and whisk in a zig-zag until frothy.
- Stir in the maple syrup.
- Steam or froth the milk and pour it over the hojicha.
Barista’s note
If you don’t have a whisk, shake the powder and water in a sealed jar for 20 seconds.
