"Hoja tea at home / Tomoe Nishimori"

The mornings and evenings are getting colder every day, Up and Down you all doing?


Today it is a cold season, these days hot tea is a delicious season.
Green tea, barley tea, oolong tea etc. I think that familiar tea depends on your family.

By the way, my parents have been drinking Dawn of tea since long ago,
Since I started living alone, I started to drink regardless of the type and recently I am addicted to Hoji tea.
Compared with green tea, there are few caffeine and there is also a relaxing effect.


Most of what I'm buying at convenience stores and supermarkets
I got the information that I can make Hojicha by myself, I tried it.
(As a reuse of old tea, tea which taste and scent have ended up
It seems that we can transform it into hojiji tea. )


What to prepare
· Green tea tea leaves (This time it was made with 4 tablespoons of tablespoonful.
· Frying pan
· Vegetable chopsticks
・Wet cloth (Isemomen Cotton Handkerchief was used.)


Green tea tea leaves, lush.

2. Place the pan in a wet cloth for 2 to 3 seconds and cool it slightly.


3. Unfold the tea leaves evenly in a frying pan.


Four. Cover with medium heat and wait for about 2 minutes. A step by step aroma!
