This "Ofuku-cha" is a good luck tea drunk on special days such as New Year's. I added some simmered black soy beans.

Add as many beans to the tea as you like (in the photo I added 5 ~ 6 beans)

You can also eat the remaining beans as an accompaniment to the tea. Recipe by Karun

Steps

1

Prepare enough hot green (Japanese) tea per person. The tea is best if it is brewed on the strong side.
2

Line a heatproof dish with parchment paper and arange about 50 g of black soy beans in a circle. The center should be empty (anything in the center will burn easily)
3

Microwave at 500 w for 1 minute and 30 seconds. This should dry out the beans. Let the beans cool down.
4

Place the beans from Step 3 into a teacup, along with the umeboshi and whatever other ingredients you have chosen. I added ume - shiso knots.
5

Gently pour in the hot tea from step 1. Let the ingredients steep for about 1 minute, and enjoy!
6

Variation: I made it with Ume Kombu Tea Here I omitted the umeboshi.
