  1. Sift 2g of matcha and 3g of hojicha powder together into a bowl.

  2. Add 60ml of water at 75 degrees Celsius and whisk for 20 seconds.

  3. Warm 150ml of oat milk to about 60 degrees Celsius and stir in 1 teaspoon of maple syrup.

  4. Pour the matcha hojicha mix into a mug.

  5. Top with the warm oat milk.

Hojicha is naturally lower in caffeine, so the cup feels gentler in the afternoon.Almanac note

Made it?

Keep the ratio that worked

The journal keeps this bowl (grams, water, temperature, and how it actually tasted) on this device, so the next one starts from what worked. It builds a 13-week heatmap as you go, and it is free and unlimited. Premium adds the tin cellar, so each bowl is costed against the tin you actually poured it from.
