Comment préparer Barley Tea
- **Prepare the Barley:** Rinse 2 ounces (57 grams) of barley under cold running water using a fine-mesh sieve.
- **Toast the Barley (Optional):** For a richer, coffee-like flavor, heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles on contact. Add the rinsed barley and dry roast, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown (for a lighter tea) or dark brown (for a coffee-like brew). Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- **Boil the Water:** In a small saucepan, combine 2 ounces (57 grams) of barley (roasted or unroasted) and 1.5 pints (710 ml) of water.
- **Simmer the Tea:** Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 6 minutes.
- **Strain and Serve:** Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing gently to extract all the liquid.
- **Enjoy!** Serve warm or chilled. Experiment with the roasting level of the barley to adjust the flavor to your preference.
