Notes

For a stronger brew, add the concentrated hojicha (with the tea bags) and milk to a jug and brew altogether in the fridge for 1-2 hours. Remove the teabags right before serving and pour over ice.
If making a large batch, store in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours.
This recipe works best with cows milk, almond milk or oat milk.
