Barley Tea

Barley is a versatile and hardy crop that is grown in various climates around the world.

 

It has a distinctive nutty flavour with toasty notes. The roasting process gives the tea a mild, earthy taste, often described as slightly sweet.

 

 

Barley tea has gained the attention of health enthusiasts for its potential weight management properties as well as a wide variety of other benefits.

Mugicha Recipe

In Japan, Barley tea is most commonly known as Mugicha and is often served as a refreshing drink, especially during the hot summer months.

 

Preparation method

To make it, you can steep the barley for about 10 minutes, then decant and put in the fridge to chill. 

For a stronger flavour, boil the barley for 10-20 min. Let it cool down and then put it in the fridge (you can also add ice cubes to it, but it might dilute the flavour) 

You can store your Mugicha in the fridge for 5-7 days.

Toasty and Comforting!

This is a game-changer for me! I can enjoy a soothing cup of barley tea any time of day, especially before bed, as it's naturally caffeine-free. It has very unique flavour profile and it has become a new favourite in my tea cabinet. I highly recommend giving it a try!

Surprisingly delicious when served chilled!

I must say I really like this tea. It's really unusual - the taste is slightly toasted, the smell almost reminds me a bit of coffee. I tried it both hot and cold - both tastes good, but the chilled version is particularly great, especially in summer.
Definitely give it a try if you haven't yet!
