Add 30-40g of the barley grains to 2 liters of water and bring to a boil. Let it boil for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and let it steep. You can serve it hot immediately or let it cool for a refreshing cold drink that's popular at Korean supermarket Lisbon.

This versatile tea works perfectly as a daily hydration drink, either hot or iced. You can also use the cooled tea as a base for smoothies or mix it with honey and lemon for a soothing evening drink. Many customers who enjoy authentic Korean food use it to make barley tea ice cubes for summer beverages.

This caffeine-free tea complements rich Korean meals perfectly, helping to cleanse the palate between bites. It pairs excellently with grilled meats, spicy dishes, and heavy foods as it cuts through richness. Korean grocery Portugal stores often recommend serving it alongside traditional Korean barbecue or hearty stews.

Store the unopened package in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, keep it in an airtight container to maintain freshness. Each 30-40g portion makes 2 liters of tea, and the brewed tea can be refrigerated for 2-3 days while maintaining its nutty flavor that represents the true taste of Korea.
