This Cozy Cherry Hojicha Latte was inspired by one of our fave late summer fruits—after all, what’s summer without the sweet, juicy taste of bright red cherries? Even better, it helps pave the way for a suuuper cozy fall thanks to the decadent, roasted flavour of microground hojicha powder.
A take on our viral Cherry Swirl Matcha Latte, this bevvie is also just as delicious iced as it is hot. And bonus, hojicha has lower caffeine than matcha, so you can enjoy it as a toasty afternoon treat!
Things to Note: We recommend using a bamboo whisk—soak in hot water for about a minute before you start to keep it in good condition!
When you whisk your hojicha powder, make an “M” formation with your movements.
Using unsweetened hojicha powder? Make sure to sift it to get the clumps out.
