# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like autumn in a glass, with that warm, caramelized roasted flavor that feels like a hug.
  • Takes barely five minutes, so you can satisfy cravings without any real effort.
  • Perfectly balanced between indulgent and refined, making it feel special even when you're just having it alone.
02 -
  • Don't let the hojicha powder sit in the milk before blending, or it'll clump up and you'll end up with bitter little bits instead of smooth creaminess.
  • The magic happens when you use really good vanilla ice cream, because the hojicha needs something luxurious to play against.
03 -
  • Buy your hojicha from a tea shop or Japanese market if you can, because the fresher it is, the more alive that toasted flavor becomes.
  • Chill your serving glasses in the freezer for five minutes before pouring, and the shake will stay cold and silky for much longer.
