Malted barley powder is often used for the Korean sweet rice drink called “sikhye.” You can find it in a Korean or Asian grocery store. The malted barley from mills in Korea is usually of high quality. There is a chunky type of malted barley powder as pictured in this post, and there is also a fine powdered type that is a litte more convenient to use.

Can you tell me how you make corn tea AND barley tea? I tasted both and really like it. The corn tea had a sweetness to it.

Do you think it could work (and be tasty) to make a hot milk drink or a hot chocolate milk drink with this malt powder? Or milk tea? With regular milk or soy milk?
