# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It comes together in under five minutes, making it perfect for those moments when you want something special without the fuss.
  • Hojicha has this gentle, roasty depth that feels like a warm hug in a glass, without being overpowering or bitter.
  • You can easily make it vegan, adjust the strength to your preference, and dress it up or keep it simple depending on your mood.
02 -
  • Hojicha powder can clump easily, so if you're blending it, let the blender run for a full minute to ensure there are no gritty bits hiding at the bottom.
  • Chilling your glasses beforehand makes a real difference—it keeps the shake from melting into a thin puddle within minutes, especially on warm days.
03 -
  • Quality hojicha powder makes a real difference—seek out Japanese brands or tea shops rather than whatever's at the supermarket, because fresher powder tastes noticeably more complex and aromatic.
  • If your blender struggles with frozen ingredients, let the ice cream sit on the counter for two minutes before blending, just until it's softened enough to blend smoothly without becoming soup.
