    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.
