Herbal Tea: Barley Tea
Last Updated: Mar. 9, 2010
Barley Tea is an herbal tea made out of barley. Usually it is made of roasted barely, and it is sometimes called roasted barely tea. Roasted barley tea is popular in Japan, where it is called mugicha (麦茶), and in Korea, where it is called boricha (보리차).A tea-like barley beverage is also popular in Italy, and that drink is different in style and preparation from the Japanese and Korean barley teas, more similar to how hot chocolate is prepared than to most tea. Rather than being steeped for flavor and then removed, the barley is added directly to hot water to make a thicker drink; milk is usually added. Orzo is Italian for barley, not to be confused with the pasta of the same name, which is named because it resembles cooked barley kernels. In addition to this beverage, Italian varieties of barley are sometimes used to make barley teas that are prepared by steeping like conventional teas.
