I made this without honey since I’m not a fan and it was still good!
Not gonna lie, I think I got the measurements all wrong and it turned out awful. LOL.
Yum, cinnamon is the best part! 😍
Thank You
This is the best latte ever! So soothing and delicious.
Can you use almond milk instead of regular milk? I’m vegan.
Ingredients look cheap. You could just drink hot milk and get the same thing.
But hot milk is not the same. Hoji Cha has its own taste. Why not try it before judging? It’s really good!
I see what you mean, but this sounds different from just hot milk! The tea really adds an extra layer! Plus, honey is great for flavor.
This was soooo good! Never tried Hoji Cha before. Definitely making again!
I dunno, what’s Hoji Cha? This recipe sound weird. Just stick with regular tea.
Simple yet tasty! I didn’t have honey so used sugar instead. Still awesome!
Not a fan of the taste… maybe too much honey?
What even is Hoji Cha? I prefer regular tea.
Is the tea leaf really necessary? I mean, can’t I just use a tea bag instead? Feels like a lot of work.
I tried it with a tea bag once, and it didn’t taste right! The leaves make it special. Totally worth the extra trouble!
Using a tea bag is way easier! But it’s not the same as the real tea leaves, ya know? They give a unique flavor. Just my opinion!
I made it but forgot the honey. It was still okayish. Next time I’ll do better!
It sounds like you did a great job even without the honey! Next time, it’ll be even better! 😊
This sounds delicious! I love the idea of a Hoji Cha latte, never thought to try that before.
Right? I was surprised too! Gotta try making it soon.
I don’t know, Hoji Cha is kinda weird. Sounds too fancy for me!
Wow, this sounds amazing! I love hoji cha. Can’t wait to try it!
R u sure hoji cha is real tea? I never heard of it, sounds weird.
Sounds weird? Not at all! Just because you haven’t heard of it doesn’t mean it’s not real, maybe try it before knocking it!
Yes, hoji cha is a type of Japanese green tea that’s roasted! You should definitely give it a try, it’s really good!
Tried this yesterday, didn’t really like it. The tea flavor was too strong for me.
I actually loved the strong tea flavor! But I guess everyone has different tastes. 🤷♂️
I get what you mean! The tea can be a bit much sometimes. Maybe try a little less next time?
Yum! I added extra cinnamon on top and it tasted sooo good! Thank you for the recipe!
I followed the recipe but it turned out too watery. Must’ve done something wrong.
Hoji Cha is like magic in a cup, trust me on this one!
Too much fuss for a drink. Just brew the tea and add milk, done.
Cinnamon makes it perfect! I’m in love 😍
My grandma used to make something similar but with black tea. This is good too!
Easy to make! I added whipped cream on top, yumm!
I tried it with coconut milk instead of regular milk! So good! Gonna make it again with whipped cream next time!
I dunno, putting whipped cream on tea seems weird to me. Is that even a thing? 😕
My milk curdled while heating. Anyone know why that happened?
That’s weird! I never had that happen. Maybe the milk was old or something? 😕
Curdling can happen if the milk is heated too quickly or to too high a temperature. Try heating it more slowly next time!
Don’t like tea with milk. This sound weird. Can’t recommend.
5 stars! So comforting! Perfect for a rainy day. 😍
I totally agree! This recipe is so warming! Perfect for snuggling up with a book. 😊
Looks yummy, but is Hoji Cha even a real thing? I thought it was just a fancy name. 🤔
