Hojicha Cold Foam Latte Recipe
Share
A hojicha cold foam latte is the perfect blend of cozy roasted tea and modern café-style texture.
Hojicha brings a warm, nutty, toasted flavor, while cold foam adds a creamy layer that makes every sip feel more luxurious. It is smooth, mellow, and lightly sweet without being too heavy.
If you enjoy iced lattes with cold foam but want something different from coffee or matcha, this roasted Japanese green tea latte is a beautiful choice.
Why Hojicha Works With Cold Foam
Cold foam adds creaminess without fully mixing into the drink right away. That makes it perfect for hojicha because each sip gives you a little roasted tea flavor and a little creamy sweetness.
Hojicha pairs especially well with:
- Vanilla
- Brown sugar
- Maple
- Caramel
- Oat milk
- Sweet cream cold foam
The result is a drink that feels cozy and refreshing at the same time.
Ingredients
For the hojicha latte:
- 1 to 2 teaspoons hojicha powder
- 2 ounces warm water
- 1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla syrup or brown sugar syrup
- 6 to 8 ounces milk of choice
- Ice
For the cold foam:
- ¼ cup milk, half-and-half, or oat milk creamer
- 1 teaspoon vanilla syrup
- Optional: small splash of cream for a richer foam
How to Make a Hojicha Cold Foam Latte
Step 1: Whisk the hojicha
Add hojicha powder to a small bowl. Pour in warm water and whisk until smooth.
Step 2: Sweeten the hojicha
Stir in vanilla syrup or brown sugar syrup.
Step 3: Build the iced latte
Fill a glass with ice. Add milk, then pour the hojicha mixture over the top.
Step 4: Make the cold foam
Froth milk or creamer with vanilla syrup until light and foamy. A handheld frother works well.
Step 5: Top the latte
Spoon the cold foam over the hojicha latte.
Step 6: Sip and enjoy
Drink as-is for creamy layers, or stir if you prefer everything blended together.
Best Cold Foam Flavor for Hojicha
Vanilla cold foam is the easiest and most balanced choice. It adds soft sweetness without overpowering the roasted tea.
Brown sugar cold foam is a richer option and gives the latte a caramel-like finish.
Maple cold foam is also beautiful if you want a warmer, cozy flavor.
What Does a Hojicha Cold Foam Latte Taste Like?
This drink tastes roasted, creamy, smooth, and lightly sweet. The hojicha gives it a warm toasted flavor, while the cold foam adds a soft café-style finish.
