Ingredients

12 servings
  • 1.5 tbsp Hojicha powderSuperboba
  • 100 ml hot water, about 85 C
  • 1.5 cup room-temperature water
  • 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk

Steps

  1. Whisk the hojicha powder into the hot water until there are no clumps.

  2. Pour into a mixing bowl and stir in the remaining water, then the condensed milk.

  3. Pour into an ice cube tray. A measuring jug makes this less messy.

  4. Freeze overnight.

  5. Fill a glass with the cubes and top with cold milk. It starts mild and gets better.

Good to know

  • Leave out the condensed milk for unsweetened cubes that will not touch the flavour of whatever you drop them into.
  • Cubes keep about a month before they start tasting like the freezer. Bag them once solid.
