Hojicha Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe

It’s that time of year again (hello fall) and we’re gravitating towards cozy and warm beverages. This low-caffeine latte will be your new favourite way to enjoy fall flavours without the added sugar and unnecessary ingredients.

The combination of hojicha and pumpkin are exceptional together, especially when combined with cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Hojicha is a traditional Japanese tea made from roasted green tea leaves. This special tea is high in catechins and is a healthy low-caffeine alternative to coffee. We love to enjoy hojicha when the weather cools down here in the Pacific Northwest. It’s nutty taste and woodsy aroma make it especially grounding on those cooler days.

In addition, pumpkin is a potent source of antioxidants and vitamin A. Vitamin A is necessary for a multitude of body processes, and is especially beneficial for vision, immunity and reproduction. We couldn’t think of a better ingredient to pair hojicha with for this fall-inspired latte.
