Roasted barley tea [boricha 보리차]

Roasted barley is often sold in transparent plastic packs in korean stores.


All you need is

50g Roasted Barley
2 liters Water


Fill teabag(photo) with barley, add water to kettle and boil.(Without the teabag, you have to strain it later)

When the water boils, turn off the heat and let it steep for about another 10 mins.

Remove the teabag with barley.

You may drink it hot but I normally pour it into a jug and chill in the refrigerator.


You can also prepare roasted corn tea this way. I usually mix roughly equal amounts of roasted corn and barley to make the tea (just that i ran out of roasted corn).
