Instructions

Heat the milk to boiling, then add the hojicha tea. Leave to infuse for 5 minutes before straining.
Melt the butter in a saucepan and leave to cool. Whisk the eggs and sugar in a bowl until frothy. Sift in the flour and baking powder, then pour in the infused milk and melted butter. Mix until smooth.
Cover the bowl and leave the dough to rest in the fridge overnight. This resting time allows the flavors to develop and favors the formation of the characteristic madeleine lump.
Preheat oven to 200°C. Butter and flour madeleine molds, then fill them three-quarters full with the batter. Bake for 13 minutes, until golden brown. Turn out and cool on a wire rack.
For the glaze, infuse the hojicha sachet in water, remove the pieces and mix with the powdered sugar to form a thick glaze.
Unmould your madeleines and dip the base in the mixture.
Sprinkle the madeleines with hojicha for the finishing touch.

Your homemade madeleines are ready to eat!

Recipe notes

Tips: To get the best flavored madeleines from your tea, remember to let it steep for longer than you would if you were drinking it, as the cooking process blurs the flavors. You can make this recipe with any brewable tea - hojicha, genmaicha, Earl Grey...

To ensure that your madelaines develop a smooth lump, place them in the freezer for 30 minutes before baking.

THE HOJICHA

Less well-known than matcha or sencha, hojicha is a unique Japanese green tea. What makes it special? A roasting process that transforms the tea leaves into an elixir with warm, comforting aromas. Unlike other green teas, which are often steamed or infused at low temperatures, hojicha is heated to high temperatures, giving it a characteristic brown hue and lightly woody flavors, with hints of hazelnut and caramel.

Thanks to its low caffeine content, hojicha is perfect for evening sipping or for those looking for a gentle, soothing alternative. It's also popular with hot beverage lovers for its balanced, accessible taste, even for those new to the world of tea.

Versatile, hojicha is equally at home in sweet and savory recipes, offering an authentic Japanese touch. Whether in madeleines, ice creams or lattes, this roasted tea enhances every culinary creation.
