    Love this tea! So refreshing, especially in summer. I added a bit of honey for sweetness. Yum!

      I totally agree! Mugi Cha is the best, especially on hot days. Honey is a great touch! ☀️

      I don’t get the hype. Isn’t barley tea just water with a hint of flavor? *shrugs*

    This is a healthy drink, but I’m not a fan of the smell. Can you add flavors like lemon?

    Not sure why people drink this? It tastes like dirty water to me. 🤮

    I tried making this, but my barley got burnt. Any tips for beginners?
