Barley tea is a traditional refreshing drink widely circulated in China, Japan and South Korea. Stir-fry the barley to brown, and just brew it with hot water before eating, and you can extract rich fragrant tea. Barley tea is made by frying barley and boiling it. There is a strong smell of wheat, and drinking barley tea can stimulate appetite.
Wheat tea is not uncommon in China, especially in the north. Northern China is rich in barley, and wheat tea is made from local materials. In the eastern agricultural area of Qinghai, barley is the main crop in the field. So take local materials, grind the fried wheat grains into wheat residue, and then cook them into wheat tea. Tea soup is dark brown and smells like coffee tea.
How to preserve barley tea;
Barley tea takes barley as the main raw material with some flavoring agents. It has been carefully fried and has a strong taste, which is very popular among many people. Barley tea will go bad easily if it is not stored properly. Barley is easy to get wet at home, so it is best to seal the container when selecting it, which can also prevent the invasion of pests and diseases.
1, it is best to store barley tea in a sealed ceramic jar, which is moisture-proof, insect-proof, odor-proof and light-proof. The jar can't smell. Transparent sealed cans are best kept in lockers.
2. Don't store different kinds of barley tea together, otherwise it is easy to smell, especially the varieties with strong aroma, such as lavender, and don't store them together with barley tea.
3. Don't store the same kind of barley tea at different times, otherwise it will accelerate the loss of aroma.
4. The shelf life of barley tea is generally 1~2 years. The longer the storage time, the worse the color and fragrance will be.
