Detailed steps for making homemade brown rice tea
Rinse the brown rice with water, but do not rub it too much with your hands to avoid removing the surface material. Soak for 12-24 hours;
Drain the water and spread the rice out in a large pot. Stir-fry over low heat;
Keep stirring to avoid burning the bottom;
Stir-fry until the rice turns a deep brown color, but do not burn it;
Put about 2 tablespoons of stir-fried rice in a stone mortar and crush it with a stone pestle. The crushed rice can then be used to make tea. If using a teapot that holds about 2 cups of tea, add about 1 teaspoon of stir-fried rice. Too much will make the tea too strong and the aroma unnatural.
