A warm and toasty beverage option
If barley can be used to make beer, then it should do well for brewing a soothing tea. Look for roasted barley tea at some Asian restaurants. Your server may bring a warm kettle for everyone to pour themselves and share during the meal. It’s known as Mugicha in Japanese and Horicha in Korean. They also serve it ice cold during the hot summers in both countries. Expect barley tea to have a slightly mild and earthy flavor with a dark to light brown color. Some may describe it as having a subtle coffee flavor. The Mixed Stew crew bought a 16 oz bag of premium roasted barley at H-Mart for $6.99. One cup of dry barley tea can brew 2 liters of barley tea.
