When you feel not well, a warm cup of hojicha is good comfort. This roasted green tea has toasty and smooth flavor with low caffeine, so it is good for relaxing. But do you know adding ginger slices to hojicha make it even more soothing?

Ginger is known for warming the body and used in traditional remedies for many years. It is believed to help circulation, digestion, and make cold symptoms better. When you put fresh ginger in hojicha, it adds gentle spice that matches the roasted tea taste, making a cozy and refreshing drink.

For more comfort, put few drops of honey. Honey makes flavor sweet and also good for throat and gives small energy boost.

To make, just steep hojicha like normal, then add few thin slices of fresh ginger in your cup. Let it sit for few minutes so ginger taste comes out. If you like, add honey and stir.

This easy and effective drink makes you feel warm and good, especially when you have cold or need extra comfort. Stay warm and take care!
