Barley tea

Barley tea is a roasted-grain-based infusion made from barley. It is a staple beverage in many East Asian countries such as China, Japan, and Korea. It has a roasty, bready, slightly bitter flavor. In Korea, the tea is consumed either hot or cold, often taking the place of drinking water in many homes and restaurants. In Japan, it is usually served cold and is a common summertime refreshment. The tea is also widely available in tea bags or bottled in Korea and Japan.
