1. Easy hojicha milk jam
By: Steeped Dreams
Milk jam is a bit of a hidden jam gem that’s recently become popular in Korea and Japan. Its taste and texture is similar to condensed milk or dulce de leche and makes for a wonderful tea-infused spread on toast or anything else your heart desires. This hojicha milk jam recipe calls for just 4 ingredients and has an easy clean up.
I used Senbird Tea’s powdered hojicha for this recipe. If you’re looking for some to bake with, you can save 15% on Senbird Tea with code: steepedreams.

In addition to hojicha tea leaves, you only need eggs, sugar, milk, heavy cream, and corn starch.

6. Hojicha mochi brownies
By: Senbird TeaSenbird Tea has a hojicha mochi brownie recipe that swaps out typical flour with a glutinous rice flour (hence mochi!). The mochi gives the brownies an even chewier texture and Japanese spin that perfectly accompanies the hojicha flavor. This recipe also uses coconut milk instead of butter for a healthier, more flavorful alternative.
7. Decadent hojicha latte
By: Oh How Civilized Tea Recipe BlogOh How Civilized has a recipe blog bursting full of expertly crafted, beautiful lattes, iced teas, and other tea recipes. The hojicha tea latte recipe has a frothed cream top and sweet finish. The cream requires a bit more work than your usual latte, but it well worth the effort for the occasional treat for yourself or friends. This is also a great option if you have hojicha in tea leaf form but no powdered hojicha.
