Fragen & Antworten zum Rezept
- → Was unterscheidet Hojicha von anderem Grüntee?
Hojicha wird aus gerösteten Grünteeblättern hergestellt, was ihm eine charakteristische nussige Note verleiht und den Koffeingehalt deutlich senkt im Vergleich zu anderen grünen Tees.
- → Welche Pflanzenmilch eignet sich am besten?
Hafer- und Sojamilch ergeben die cremigste Textur und schäumen am besten. Mandelmilch funktioniert ebenfalls sehr gut und verleiht eine leicht nussige Note.
- → Kann ich Hojicha-Pulver durch Teebeutel ersetzen?
Für optimale Ergebnisse sollte Hojicha-Pulver verwendet werden, da es sich vollständig auflöst. Alternativ kann ein sehr stark aufgebrühter Teebeutel genutzt werden, die Textur wird dann etwas wässriger.
- → Ist dieser Hojicha Latte süß?
Der Latte ist von Natur aus nicht süß. Der optional verwendete Ahornsirup oder andere Süßungsmittel lassen sich nach persönlichem Geschmack dosieren.
- → Wie viel Koffein enthält Hojicha?
Da Hojicha aus gerösteten Blättern besteht, enthält er deutlich weniger Koffein als Matcha oder Sencha - etwa ein Drittel bis die Hälfte des normalen Grüntee-Gehalts.
