Salted Maple Hojicha

The rich, roasted nature of our Organic Hojicha Powder isn't just for the autumn / winter season. In fact, it's a versatile ingredient when it calls for cold drinks, particularly those made with creamy milks or milk alternatives, and a touch of real sweetness. The pistachio-like nuttiness of this Japanese green tea powder shines through, as does those complex roasted tones, making this simple recipe an entirely indulgent and satisfying hot-weather hojicha beverage.
