Step 1: Prepare the Hojicha Tea

If you’re using hojicha powder, simply whisk 1 teaspoon of the powder into a small cup of hot water (about 1/4 cup) to dissolve it completely. If you’re using hojicha tea bags, steep the tea in hot water for about 3-4 minutes until the flavor is strong and rich.

Step 2: Heat the Milk

In a small saucepan, heat your milk over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it’s warm but not boiling. You can also froth the milk if you want that creamy texture.

Step 3: Add the Peanut Butter and Sweetener

Once the milk is warmed, whisk in the peanut butter until it’s fully dissolved. You can adjust the amount of peanut butter based on how rich you want your latte. Add the honey or maple syrup to sweeten the drink, and a splash of vanilla extract if you’d like. Stir everything until the peanut butter is well incorporated into the milk.

Step 4: Combine the Tea and Milk Mixture

Now it’s time to combine! Pour the prepared hojicha tea into the mug, and then slowly add the peanut butter milk mixture. Stir gently to combine everything into a smooth, creamy latte.

Step 5: Serve and Top

For a little extra indulgence, top your latte with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an added touch of flavor. If you prefer it iced, simply pour your latte over a glass of ice and stir.
