ほうじ茶の淹れ方
HOW TO BREW HOJICHA
1 | Heat fresh, filtered water until boiled. Let cool very slightly — water close to 203°F (95°C) is ideal for bringing out the fragrance and flavor in Hojicha.
2 | Pour water over 1 tablespoon of tea leaves per cup.
3 | Steep for 1-2 minutes. All of our teas can be steeped up to 3 times.
FOR ICED HOJICHA:
Simply add the desired amount of Hojicha tea leaves into a container or bottle and pour in boiling water. Let the tea steep and cool down before putting it in the fridge to chill. After 2 hours, the cold brew Hojicha is ready. Cold-brew tea lasts in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
For a more mellow flavor, add water to your desired amount of Hojicha tea leaves and let steep in the fridge for 3 hours before drinking.
ほうじ茶タピオカミルクティー
HOJICHA BUBBLE MILK TEA
1 | In a small saucepan, boil the tapioca for 5 minutes or as per the directions.
2 | Drain the tapioca. Over low heat, stir in honey until melted, stirring frequently to avoid burning, then set aside.
3 | In another saucepan, pour the milk over the Hojicha loose tea. Stir gently and heat on the stove.
4 | Once the milk and tea start to boil, remove from fire and set aside.
5 | Scoop the tapioca and honey syrup into a cup, then strain the hojicha milk tea over it to catch any loose leaves. Stir and enjoy!
It took me 16 months to get through this bag and it tasted just fine at the end, still the best hojicha I have found for sale. (I had divided it up into various canisters after opening to keep it as fresh as possible.) This giant bag is a great value. Thanks so much for offering this option!
