Brown Rice Tea

Ingredients

• 10 cups waterNutrition
• 5 g brown rice tea (genmaicha)Nutrition

Directions

1. 1Get some brown rice tea, often called Genmaicha, in Japanese.
2. 2Boil 1.5 liters of fresh water in a pot or tea kettle. As soon as it is boiling turn it off and wait for 3-5 minutes.
3. 3Genmaicha should be boiled at a temp of 175 °F to 185 °F (80 °C to 85 °C). If you don't have a thermometer to test the temp of the water, just shut off the heat as soon as the water has started boiling, and wait 5 minutes for the water to cool off a little.
4. 4Measure 5 teaspoons of the Genmaicha into a 1.5 liter pan, and pour the hot water into the pot. Let the tea steep from 3-5 minutes but no more than 5 minutes or it will be too strong. I find that 3 minutes is perfect!
5. 5Immediately strain your tea and water into another pot, or teapot, removing all tea from your water, and let it sit at room temperature for awhile; depending on your preferences, drink it hot, or allow it to cool.
