Have you ever had cupcakes that are so good you don't really need any special frosting? These hojicha cupcakes (roasted green tea) are just that. With plenty of earthy, roasty hojicha flavor, you could eat them plain, with a dollop of whipped cream, or my favorite, sweetened whipped cream with some matcha (green tea) powder sprinkled on top. Oh, and don't forget the black sesame. Of course you could just keep it a secret and see if whoever eats these will even notice ;)

☝While matcha seems to have hit mainstream these days, there’s another Japanese tea that may not be as well-known. And that’s hojicha!  Roasted green tea. Have you had it? If not, it’s got a very unique flavor. Extremely robust, earthy, tea-like and very hojicha.
It’s a very bold tea and I like it that way.

😛 It’s often served at the end of a meal or with dessert in Japan. And the great thing about it is that it’s basically caffeine free. So you can drink this anytime of day or night without worrying that it’ll keep you up all night long. Cuz it won’t! Ok, so how do you use hojicha?

🤔 question of the day- have you baked with hojicha before?
