Bori Cha (Roasted Unhulled Barley Water Tea) Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
2 tablespoon Unhulled barley
5 cup , water; boiling
Recipe Preparation
"Koreans are not essentially tea drinkers like the Chinese or
Japanese. Upon being seated in a Korean restaurant or home you are
more than likely to be served a very pale-colored tea prepared from
barley. This brew, which has a light earthy flavor, is considered to
be a health tea, good for one's digestive system, especially if
sipped after dining. I prefer to take the tea in small Chinese
teacups at room temperature although it can be served quite warm or
cooled in the refrigerator."
1. Put the barley in a big skillet and toast over moderate heat for
about 10 mins. until the grains have turned to a dark coffee color.
Stir and shake the pan now and then during this time. Set aside and
cool.
2. Put the toasted barley into the boiling water and simmer over low
heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain the mixture and discard the barley.
Cool and serve at room temperature or refrigerate and srve when
wanted.
Makes 5 cups.

The case against low carb diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe for you?

Super foods containing lycopene
(includes apricots, red peppers & tomato)
Lycopene is a non-synthetic chemical compound and part of the carotenid family of phytochemicals. Lycopene is behind the deep red hue of quite a few foods.
Intrestingly, unlike many nutritional compounds, lycopene does not degrade if cooked, but is in fact increased in efficacy by being heated.
. Lycoprene's key value is that it works as an antioxidant and seems to be an asset in the fight to reduce the chances of cancer.
It is the most potent eliminator of singlet oxygen, which is linked with skin aging. It's also thought to curtail the progression of atherosclerosis.
