Low in calories and caffeine, mugicha barley tea is a perfect summer cooler or warming winter drink. With a refreshing and mildly bitter flavour, it’s easy to make with these ready to use teabags. Please consume as soon as possible after opening.
ITEM ID: #4691
Mugicha is made by simmering roasted barley grains. It is a very popular refreshment during summer in Japan, with Japanese parents often making it cold with perhaps some added sugar for their children. Mugicha is believed to improve the fluidity of the blood, is caffeine-less and full of nutrients, making it a very popular health drink.
Drink this refreshing mugicha barley tea cold:
• Boil a kettle of water before adding 1 tea bag per approx. 1.5 litres.
• Leave to simmer for 3 minutes, then place the kettle in cold water and remove the teabag. Pour into a heatproof container, then leave in the fridge to cool and brew.
• Alternatively, add straight to a container with 1l of cold water and place in the fridge. Remove the tea bag after an hour or once the tea is your preferred strength.
