KOREAN BARLEY TEA (BORICHA) #drinks #healthy

Find Korean grain tea and figure out how to make it at home! It's excessively simple, flavorful and it accompanies numerous medical advantages!

The tea we frequently drank was made with broiled cassia tora seed (gyeolmyeongja, 결명자). It has a to some degree espresso like smell, shading and self-contradicting taste. I didn't care for the taste as much as some other Korean tea despite the fact that my mother continued revealing to me that this tea is useful for improving vision! (Possibly that is the reason my sight is still acceptable after these numerous years!)

However, when I visited my companion's place, their water tasted diverse to our own. It's generally made with either cooked corn or simmered grain. Not at all like cassia tora seed tea, they had much milder, nutty and possibly marginally sweet taste. I completely cherished these! So you may be considering what's Korean grain tea?

Ingredients

• 2 liters water
• 3 Tbsp roasted barley grains , or more to taste

Instructions
A TEA BAG VERSION

1. Boil the water in a kettle (pot) until rapidly boiling. Remove the kettle from the heat then add the roasted barley tea bag. Brew it for about 10 mins. Don’t forget to squeeze out the tea bag using tongs, to get the last drop of essence. Discard the tea bag. You will noticed that the color of the water has changed to a brownish color. Cool it down. (You can submerge the kettle in cold water to make this process quicker.) Transfer the tea into a jug then refrigerate until needed.

LOOSE ROASTED BARLEY GRAINS VERSION

1. Boil the water in a kettle or pot until rapidly boiling. Add the roasted barley (in a tea strainer container if you have one) then boil further 5 mins on low to medium low heat. Remove the kettle from the heat and remove the roasted barley from the kettle. Cool the tea down then transfer it into a jug. Refrigerate until needed. (If you didn’t use the tea strainer container, you will have to use the strainer to sieve the grains).

Notes
* If you’re using a barley tea bag, follow the package instruction. It’s typically 2 L boiled water per one tea bag (10 g / 0.4 ounces)
** 1 Tbsp = 15 ml
