Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon genmaicha (Japanese green tea with roasted brown rice)
- ½ cup water (heated to 180°F–190°F / 82°C–88°C)
- 1–2 teaspoons dark brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- ½ cup whole milk (or any milk, including non-dairy)
Instructions
- Heat water to 180°F–190°F (82°C–88°C).
- Steep genmaicha in the hot water for 1 minute, then strain and discard the tea leaves.
- In a serving cup, combine brewed tea and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar fully dissolves.
- Add warm or cold milk and stir to combine. Serve hot or over ice if desired.
Notes
- Use non-dairy milk like oat, almond, or soy for a plant-based version.
- Add cooked tapioca pearls to turn it into genmaicha bubble tea.
- Let tea steep longer for a bolder flavor.
- Sweeten with flavored syrups like vanilla or blueberry for variety.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days; shake before serving.
