今日は、私のいつもの茎茶をほんの少し使ってほうじ茶を作りました。適当な鍋がなかったので、オーブントースターを使うことにしました。
すぐ（１分をしないうちに？）香りがして来ました。
何故か、均一に炒ることができませんでした。
But, when I brewed it and drank the tea, I thought it was a success! The same flavor as store-bought houjicha.
I will definitely make houjicha again in the same way when I make tencha (short for tempura ochazuke)!
でも、その葉を煎れて、飲むと、成功したと思いました。店で売ってるほうじ茶と同じ味です！
天茶（天ぷらお茶漬け）を作る時に同じ方法でまた、ほうじ茶を作ろうと思います！
I made my first attempt to make frozen natsumikan. I made two versions: A whole peeled natsumikan (right) and a natsumikan peeled and separated into segments.
初めて冷凍夏みかんを作ってみました。二種類作りました： 丸ごと皮を剥いた夏みかん（右）と皮を剥いて小さく分けたもの。
悪くはないですが、丸ごとの夏みかんを食べた妻は、特別美味しくはないと言ってました。

Thanks for the idea.
Kiki
Kiki: Thanks for the link.
Houjicha making, is it contagious (laugh)?
Hiroyuki: I've come to conclusion; I can't enjoy houjicha at all... Well, the fragrance just catch my nose; but when come in taste, it can't. Regular sencha is better somehow.

Kiki: What kind of Chinese tea did you use?
Pretty nice idea to come with Chinese tea to roast. But actually, Chinese green tea already roasted when processing. It's different with Japanese green tea that mostly using steaming method when processing.
And I'm curious about the taste instead, could it be same like store-bought houjicha?

forgot to add;
Kiki: It most likely "Bai mu dan" (white peony) tea for my eyes!
If it's true, not strange the liquor color was pale.

Fred: Yes white peony - it is a very light tea. I don't have any other green teas but lots of this. The only other teas in storage are Oolong or Earl Grey or smoked red tea. I am not going to roast my much beloved Oolong. Or the Earl Grey - that thought gives me shivers.
It looks so easy! Thank you, Hiroyuki, for the isntructions. (I have found it at my small shop, but only in bags and I hate tea bags). I will make it with the cheaper green tea I have and thus will be able to try ochazuke "Hiroyuki-san way" :-)
Kiki, I didn't know you had a blog! I am going to pay you a visit straight away!
fred: Anyway, you already have some home-made houjicha, so why not use it to make ochazuke like tencha? You may never know,... you may like the combination of houjicha, kombu, wasabi, etc., etc.
Kiki: You sure a strong-flavored-tea lover!
I bet, You like sweets, aren't you? (laugh)

Hiroyuki: I've tried it! When I was child, my mother sometimes gives me meal mostly like ochazuke(but using plain water instead tea) when I had no appetite.
I remembered so much when enjoying ochazuke!
