Brew barley coffee in a Turk at the rate of 1 teaspoon per 150 ml of water. After brewing, let it brew for a few minutes. You can add chicory, honey, and milk to barley coffee to taste.
The taste of barley coffee
Barley coffee tastes most similar to a cappuccino, especially when brewed with hot milk. When brewed, it forms a thick and high foam and has a delicate, bread-like aroma. If it contains chicory, the smell is enriched with coffee notes; if pure barley is used, you should not expect the familiar aroma of freshly ground coffee beans.
