How to Brew and Prepare Hodgenog
Hodgenog is Tivvia’s premiere dessert tea—a smooth, creamy beverage in powdered form crafted as a sweet treat in a cup, layered with peppermint brightness and warm spice depth.
Inside the 24 g container you’ll find powdered milk, peppermint, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
The result? A milky, golden, subtly spiced brew that feels indulgent yet refined.
Here’s how to prepare it properly.

|---|---|
| ● 8–10 oz water | ● 10 oz of water (1¼ cups) |
| ● 1 serving Hodgenog powder (from the 24 g container) | ● 1 scoop of Hodgenog mix (3 g) |
| ● Small saucepan | ● Small pot |

Step-by-Step Brewing
| Hodgenog Capsule | Hodgenog Tin Mix |
|---|---|
| 1. Bring Water to a Rolling Boil Heat 8–10 oz of water until it reaches a full rolling boil. | Add 10 oz of water and 1 scoop of Hodgenog mix to a small pot. Bring to a rolling boil and boil for 10 minutes. |
| 2. Reduce Heat Lower to a gentle simmer. This protects the milk powder and allows the spices to bloom gradually. | Reduce heat to low. Add 6-8 oz of milk (whole milk preferred) and stir for 3–5 minutes on low heat (do not boil). |
| 3. Add Hodgenog Powder Pour in the contents and stir frequently for 7 minutes. The simmer coaxes out the warmth of turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg while allowing the milk powder to fully incorporate. Expect a creamy consistency and a rich golden hue. | Sweeten with 2 teaspoons of honey, or to your taste. Strain if desired and serve warm. |
| 4. Strain (Optional) For a silkier finish, strain before serving. | |
| 5. Add Honey Sweeten to taste to make the Hodgenog Delight. The honey softens the peppermint and deepens the dessert-like profile. For an even fuller body, feel free to add a splash of fresh milk. |
