Strawberry Hojicha Soda

Strawberry Hojicha Soda

Everyone loves a refreshing yet flavorful soda, right? This time, we added hojicha and made a soda using luxurious homemade strawberry syrup. Its appearance is reminiscent of a cocktail, making it a delicious drink that is also pleasing to the eyes.

Servings: 4-5

Ingredients:

•  200g Fresh Ripe Strawberries

•  150ml Water

• 100-150g Sugar

• 2 tbsp Agave Syrup

• 3 tsp Lemon Juice

• 1 tsp Hojicha Powder

• 1 cup Sparkling Water

Instructions:

1. Place the cut strawberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium high heat, and stir until the sugar dissolves.

2. Reduce heat to low and simmer the strawberry mixture gently for 15 minutes.

3. Remove the sauce pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and agave syrup.

4. Add hojicha powder and stir.

5. Let the strawberry mixture cool down to room temperature. (If necessary, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes. )

6. Pour the syrup through a mesh strainer into a glass jar, straining out the solids. Use a spoon or silicone spatula to thoroughly press the liquid from the pulp. (Use the strawberry pulp to make some jam if you would like.)

7. Pour 1 cup of sparkling water into a glass with ice. Add 2-3 tablespoons of strawberry syrup and stir. (If you like it to be sweeter add more strawberry syrup to taste)
