Sungnyung (Korea)

茶泡米汤（韩国）

Sungnyung is a Korean tisane made from boiled scorched rice. This traditional tea can be traced back to the Goryeo period (918 to 1392). People pour hot water over the parched layer of rice on the bottom of the pot. Sometimes they burn it deliberately, roasting rice in a dry pan until it browns and smells nutty, and then brewing it with hot water for about 10 minutes. Its taste is reminiscent of toast, and makes for a refreshing non-caffeinated end to a meal.

茶泡米汤是一种用锅巴煮制而成的韩国草本茶，这种韩国传统茶饮的历史可追溯到高丽王朝时期（918-1392）。人们用开水来冲泡锅底的锅巴。人们有时也会刻意地将米放入锅中干炒，直至把米粒炒焦并散发出坚果的香味，接着加入热水冲泡十分钟左右。茶泡米汤有股烘烤香气。饭后喝上一杯不含咖啡因的茶泡米汤提提神吧！
