2. We send the pan over high heat, fry the grains until a pleasant brown color. At the same time, stir the barley continuously with a wooden spatula so that they are fried evenly on all sides and do not burn.
3. Put the fried grains on a piece of gauze. We lift the ends of the gauze up, tie it with a rope or thread. Thus, a kind of "tea bag" is obtained.
4. Pour water into a saucepan, send it to the fire. Bring to a boil. Dip a bag of barley grains into boiling water. We reduce the fire to the minimum, cook the tea for 10-15 minutes, depending on the desired strength of the tea.
