Notes

TO MAKE COLD BREW HOJICHA
1. Put hojicha tea leaves and cool or room temperature water in a pitcher or glass container.
Filtered water is best for a better tasting iced tea.
2. Cover pitcher and put in refrigerator for 8 hours.
3. Strain hojicha tea leaves and pour tea into a cup.
Ice is optional since the tea is already cold.
