Hoji-cha (Roasted Green Tea)

1. 1

   Sift the leaves to remove any small leaves and fine particles (fine particles will burn very easily).

2. 2

   As much as possible, use a frying pan with a thick bottom that conducts heat evenly.

3. 3

   When the pan is hot, add in the tea leaves.

4. 4

   Shake the pan continuously over high heat.

5. 5

   Move the leaves around to keep them from burning.

6. 6

   When the leaves turn brown, you are done.

7. 7

   The leaves will burn from the residual heat, so remove them from the pan quickly and put them in a clean bottle or container to store.

8. 8

   Hoji-cha has very little caffeine, so it is recommended for children or pregnant women.
