Caffeine-free barley tea jelly

Mugi-cha (barley tea) is indispensable in the refrigerator during the summer. Recently, powdered barley tea is also available, which is convenient because you don't have to keep making it.


By the way, did you know that barley tea, which we always thought of as something to drink, is actually delicious in jelly form? This time, we will introduce a recipe for jelly using Sarasara Healthy Mineral Mugi-cha from ITO EN's official website.

The ingredients (for 4 servings) and recipe for Mugi-cha Jelly are as follows


2 tablespoons Sarasara Kenko Mineral Mugi-cha
350cc water
40g (1.41oz) sugar
5 g powdered gelatin
3 tablespoons hot water

How to make the tea
1. Dissolve the gelatin powder in hot water.


Put water, mugi-cha (barley tea), and sugar in a saucepan and turn off the heat just before it comes to a boil.


3. Add the gelatin and mix well.
Remove from heat and refrigerate in a bowl.


The barley tea jelly has hardened and the aroma of the barley that escapes your nose is very fragrant! The barley flavor is stronger than that of barley tea, so it is well balanced with the sweetness, and has a nostalgic taste like caramel.


The sprinkling of kinako (soybean flour) on the top gives it the feeling of eating "warabimochi with molasses ", which is a strange sensation. It is also nice that there is no difficult process to make it like warabimochi. Try Mugi-cha Jelly for a summer snack that also replenishes minerals lost through perspiration!
