Troubleshooting & FAQ
Why isn’t my hojicha foam whipping?
Ensure you’re using hot water and whisking long enough (3–5 minutes). If needed, add 1 tsp of aquafaba or egg white for a firmer foam.
Can I make it sugar-free?
Yes! Substitute sugar with stevia, monk fruit, or your favorite zero-calorie sweetener.
Can I make this drink ahead of time?
Whipped hojicha foam keeps in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Whisk again briefly before serving for best texture.
