Toasted Evening

Roasted barley tea has a toasty, grain-like flavor that feels quite different from fruit or flowers. There’s a gentle savory quality, with no need to add milk or sweetness for the cup to have character. Brew according to your tea’s directions and taste before extending the steep. This is a simple, warm option for someone who likes roasted flavors and wants a quieter alternative to a strongly spiced or sweet evening drink.

Ingredients

• 6 oz Hot water
• 1 tea bag Roasted barley tea

Make it

1. Add the tea or fruit and spices to a heatproof mug or small saucepan.
2. Pour in the hot water. Steep tea for the time on its packet, or gently simmer fruit for 3–5 minutes.
3. Remove tea bags. Strain if you prefer, add any optional sweetener, and sip while comfortably warm.
