Here are two recommended customizations that you can enjoy the "Hojicha Tea Latte" sold at Starbucks with a "slightly luxurious" taste than usual.
Hojicha tea latte is a Japanese-only tea latte that combines milk with "hojicha", which has been popular in Japan for a long time. In the sweet scent of milk, the fragrant scent is firmly drifting, and it is a cup of modest sweetness. The price starts from 380 yen (excluding tax) for the short size.
■ With chocolate
For chocolate lovers, I would like to change the hojicha tea latte syrup to chocolate syrup (mocha syrup). A cup of chocolate sauce added (free).
The flavor of roasted green tea and the richness of chocolate are more compatible than you can imagine! The sweetness and flavor of chocolate adds depth to the taste.
The tea bag is served as it is, so take it out at your favorite timing.
First, the sweetness of chocolate, the aroma of roasted green tea that spreads continuously, and the gradation of the taste that gradually combines the two flavors are addictive! If you want to keep the sweetness modest, you can leave it without chocolate sauce, but I personally recommend adding it.
■ With caramel
If you want a mellow drink, we recommend changing the milk of Hojicha tea latte to soy milk (+50 yen), adding whipped cream (+50 yen), and adding caramel sauce (free).
The bittersweet flavor and sweetness of caramel match the fragrance of roasted green tea that spreads softly. The mellowness of whipped cream connects the two flavors, and you can enjoy a gentle and relaxing taste.
The aroma of roasted green tea softly covers the sweetness of caramel, so the aftertaste is refreshing without leaving any kudzu. It is a taste that can be recommended for people who do not usually drink caramel flavored drinks ♪
