"Roasted Barley Tea is called mugicha. This tea is a coffeine-free, roasted-grain-based tisane made from barley.
It is especially popular in Japan, Korea, and China, although it is consumed in other Asian nations and regions with a large Asian community as well. It is also used as a caffeine-free coffee substitute in American cuisine.
It is drunk hot in winter and cool in summer. It works up an appetite and aid digestion, and helps to extract impurities from the blood, and to thin the blood in hot summer weather."
