Homemade brown rice tea
Overview
Once I went to eat sushi with my daughter. Each person was given a small bag of genmai tea, which is Japanese style. It tastes very fragrant. Out of curiosity, I opened the paper bag and it turned out to be green tea leaves and fried rice. When I got home, I checked the information on the Internet. Genmai generally refers to brown rice. Many theories say that brown rice is fried and then brewed with green tea leaves. It is a very good choice to quench thirst and relieve inflammation. After all, green tea has the functions of removing greasiness, lowering fat, refreshing, and diuretic. Adding fried rice can also make the tea milder, and it also has a roasted rice aroma. I bought a bag of brown rice and started using a local method with good results. Let me explain, the author's method may be very unauthentic, but even if it is produced by a manufacturer, it may be popular tea. I am not a person who appreciates high-end tea. Children who play with high-end tea should ignore it.

Ingredients
Steps
-
Rinse the brown rice with water, do not rub it too much with your hands to avoid rubbing off the surface substances, and soak it for 12-24 hours;
-
Drain the water, put it in a large pot, spread it out, and stir-fry over a very slow fire;
-
Stir constantly to avoid burning the bottom;
-
Fry until darker brown, but do not burn;
-
Put about 2 tablespoons of fried rice in the stone teapot and crush it with a stone hammer. After the teaton is broken, it can be used to make tea. If it is a teapot that holds about 2 large cups of tea, adding about 1 teaspoon of fried rice is enough. If it is too much, the aroma will be too strong and the aroma will be unnatural.
