Ingredients

• 480 ml milk (dairy, soy or oat)
• 4 tbsp Kinako (roasted soybean flour)
• 1 tbsp sugar, honey or kuromitsu
• ice, to serve cold (optional)

Method

1. Put the kinako and sugar in a jug and add 4 tbsp of the milk. Stir into a smooth, lump-free paste.
2. Whisk in the rest of the milk until evenly mixed.
3. For a cold drink, pour over ice. For a warm one, heat gently in a pan or the microwave for 1–2 min until steaming, without boiling.
4. Stir as you drink, as the kinako tends to settle.

Tips

• Use soy or oat milk and sugar instead of honey for a vegan version.
• Add a shot of espresso or a spoon of hojicha powder for a café-style latte.
