When you pass by a tea shop, the delightful aroma of hojicha can be quite soothing, right? In fact, you can make hojicha at home too. In this article, we’ll show you how to make hojicha at home.
How do you use up green tea that’s gone stale and lost its aroma? Why not try turning it into hojicha at home?
Here’s how to make homemade hojicha:
- Clean the frying pan thoroughly, making sure there is no oil left.
- Heat the frying pan well.
- Add the tea leaves and roast them while stirring with a wooden spatula.
- Stop roasting when you reach your desired level of roast.
What do you think? It’s surprisingly easy, isn’t it? It’s best to make just enough for the moment rather than making a large batch, so you can enjoy it freshly roasted. If you do make a batch, be sure to let the tea leaves cool completely before storing them.
Also, be careful to ensure there is no residual oil in the frying pan, as it can affect the aroma and make the tea leaves greasy. Since tea leaves are dry, they can burn more quickly than you might expect, so keep an eye on them while roasting. You’ll get a sense of your preferred roasting level after trying it a few times.
That’s all. Give it a try!
