# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in five minutes flat, which means you can satisfy a serious dessert craving without any real effort.
  • The roasted tea flavor is sophisticated enough to feel special but so creamy you'll want to make it twice in one week.
  • It works beautifully whether you need dairy-free or have dairy on hand, so nobody gets left out.
02 -
  • Hojicha powder can clump unexpectedly, so sifting it into the milk before adding ice cream prevents grainy texture in your finished drink.
  • Using ice cream straight from the freezer (not softened) makes the difference between a milkshake and a thin, icy disappointment.
03 -
  • Make a big batch of hojicha powder blend (ice cream plus hojicha) ahead of time and freeze it in portions, then just add milk and blend when you want a quick shake.
  • Crushed roasted hazelnuts or almonds work better than finely ground nuts because they stay crispy on top instead of getting soggy from the shake.
