Brown Rice Tea
Share
Brown rice tea, also known as genmaicha, is a Japanese tea made by blending green tea with roasted brown rice. The rice's nutty flavor complements the grassy taste of the green tea.
Preparation
This tea is prepared by infusing roasted brown rice in boiling water.[3] Brown japonica rice is typically used in Korea.[3] The rice is washed, soaked, roasted in a dry pan or pot, and cooled. Around 50 g (1.8 oz) of roasted brown rice is added to 600 ml (21 imp fl oz; 20 US fl oz) of boiling water and simmered for a short time, around five to ten minutes.[4] Rice grains may be strained before serving.[3] The beverage may range from pale yellow to light golden brown in color.
Pre-roasted rice used to make hyenomi-cha is available commercially in groceries, traditional markets, and supermarkets in Korea and Korean groceries overseas.
