Hojicha Pumpkin Latte Recipe

Sachiko Murata |

Do you have any pumpkin puree left from the Halloween or have you got a pumpkin or a butternut squash on your shelf? Let's make a nice drink with it. The creamy and sweet taste will make you warm and happy. The cute tiramisu-like looking is created by using hojicha powder, and the bitterness of the powder accentuates the flavor to the drink.

Ā 

Firstly, I'll show you what hojicha powder is, and how to make pumpkin puree.Jump straight to the recipe if you don't need them, and enjoy making the drink!

Ā 

What's hojicha powder?

Ā 

Ā 

HojichaĀ - ē„™ć˜čŒ¶ - , literally means "roasted tea", and is made from some form of green tea that has been roasted.Ā As it is roasted, the leaves turn brown and get a nice roast aroma. Hojicha powder is finely ground hojicha leaves. It is superfine and smooth like matcha.
