HOW TO PREPARE BARLEY TEA:

This barley tea blend is specifically formulated to work well as a cold brew tea.

1. Place 1 tea bag in an empty container with a capacity of at least 1 litre.
2. Pour 1 litre of cold water into the container (We recommended using water that has been filtered with Kishu binchotan).
3. Place in a refrigerator and wait for 3-4 hours.
4. Stir the tea gently and serve, or decant into your favourite flask. If serving from the container, the tea bag can be left inside for up to 8 hours to brew.
   Enjoy your barley ice tea!
