Hojicha Fig Latte with Homemade Fig Syrup

Hojicha is Japanese green tea that has been roasted, which gives it a toasty, warm depth. The fig syrup brings a jammy sweetness, and coconut milk softens the whole glass. It is a drink you can make at home with a saucepan, a strainer and a few ingredients.
