Houjicha Blueberry Latte

A delicious light, nutty, sweet latte with very low caffeine content.

Prepare a blueberry compote 

• Combine 1 cup of the blueberries, 2tbsp (or desired sweetness amount) maple syrup or honey, 2 tbsp water, and 1/2 tsp vanilla in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

• Add the remaining 1 cup blueberries and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat. The mixture will become thick and jammy as it cools.

Prepare a Houjicha Latte

• Sift 2-3g (1 tsp) Houjicha Powder per 75ml (1/4 cup).

• Pour 1 tsp of 80ºC water over Houjicha Powder.

• Whisk Houjicha Powder and 1 tsp water to a paste. Add remaining water and whisk until frothed - using more or less powder depending on flavour preference.
