Instructions

Heat water with roasted hojicha green tea to an appropriate brewing temperature (green tea: ~175°F / 80°C; black tea: ~200°F / 93°C), and steep 2–4 minutes.
If using whole spices, briefly simmer spices with the water before adding the tea. Whisk matcha powder instead of leaving it to steep.
Strain loose tea; add milk and sugar and gently warm until steaming (or cool rapidly for a cold version).
Divide into two cups and serve; do not boil green tea aggressively.
