Title: Bori Cha (Roasted Unhulled Barley Water Tea)
Categories: Five, Oriental, Beverages, Grains
Yield: 5 Servings

2 tb Unhulled barley
5 c Water; boiling

"Koreans are not essentially tea drinkers like the Chinese
or Japanese. Upon being seated in a Korean restaurant or
home you are more than likely to be served a very
pale-colored tea prepared from barley. This brew, which has
a light earthy flavor, is considered to be a health tea,
good for one's digestive system, especially if sipped after
dining. I prefer to take the tea in small Chinese teacups at
room temperature although it can be served quite warm or
cooled in the refrigerator."

Put the barley in a large skillet and toast over moderate
heat for about 10 minutes until the grains have turned to a
dark coffee color. Stir and shake the pan now and then
during this time. Set aside and cool.

Put the toasted barley into the boiling water and simmer
over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain the mixture and
discard the barley. Cool and serve at room temperature or
refrigerate and srve when wanted.

Makes 5 cups.
