Method
Preparation
Rinse the Barley
Place 1 cup of barley in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes to remove any dust or impurities.
Toast the Barley (Optional)
For a nuttier flavor, heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the rinsed barley and toast for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it turns golden brown and aromatic. This step is optional but recommended.
Brewing
Combine Barley and Water
In a large pot, combine the rinsed (and optionally toasted) barley with 4 cups of water.
Bring to a Boil
Place the pot over high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
Simmer the Tea
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes. The barley will soften, and the water will take on a light brown color.
Strain the Tea
After simmering, remove the pot from heat. Use a fine mesh strainer to strain out the barley grains, pouring the brewed tea into a separate container.
Serving
Store Leftovers
Any leftover barley tea can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving if desired.
