# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It's ready faster than you can pour the milk, perfect for when you want something special without the fuss.
  • The roasted tea flavor feels sophisticated but tastes like comfort, making it equally good for afternoon cravings or impressing someone with your kitchen skills.
02 -
  • Hojicha powder can clump if your blender isn't powerful or if you let it sit in the milk too long before blending, so mix it in last and blend immediately after.
  • The quality of your hojicha powder matters more than you'd think—a good one will have that deep, almost chocolatey undertone, while a stale one tastes papery and flat.
03 -
  • If your blender struggles with ice cream, let it sit at room temperature for two minutes before blending—soft ice cream blends faster and more evenly.
  • The hojicha powder's flavor dims slightly once blended and chilled, so don't be shy with it; what tastes perfect in the blender will taste more subtle once everything cools down.
