Next 2 tsp sweetener of your choice and mix until dissolved.
Cover and steep for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, squeeze the tea bags thoroughly. (If using loose tea, strain using a tea strainer and press the leaves to save as much liquid as possible).
Add ice cubes to a glass about one-third of the way up and pour the concentrated hojicha over the top.
Top with 120 ml milk of your choice and stir well.
Enjoy!
Notes
For a stronger brew, add the concentrated hojicha (with the tea bags) and milk to a jug and brew altogether in the fridge for 1-2 hours. Remove the teabags right before serving and pour over ice.If making a large batch, store in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours.This recipe works best with cows milk, almond milk or oat milk.
