Make a hojicha concentrate by mixing the powder with the water.If using hojicha tea leaves or teabags, look at notes *
Mash the strawberries and let them macerate with the xylitol or sugar for around 10 minutes (you may skip this waiting time if using sweetener in liquid form, like simple syrup or condensed milk)
Put in the glass the strawberries on the bottom, then add ice cubes (if you want your drink layered), the milk and pour the hojicha concentrate on top. If you don’t mind everything mixed together, you don’t have to add ice cubes nor mind the order.
Notes
* If using hojicha loose tea or tea bags, use around 1 Tbsp. or 1 teabag for 4-5 Tbsp. water. Steep in hot water for around 30 seconds-1 minutes, strain and set aside to let it cool down (if you want your drink cool).
