Measure
Use 1-2 teaspoons of Houjicha loose-leaf per 8 oz (240 ml) of water.
Heat
Heat water to 175°F-185°F (80°C-85°C) to enhance Houjicha’s toasted flavors without over-extracting.
Steep
Pour hot water over the tea leaves and steep for 2-3 minutes. Adjust steeping time for a stronger or lighter brew.
Enjoy
Strain the tea leaves and savor the warm, nutty flavors of Houjicha.
