This refers to dried and powdered grains to make a popular summer beverage. In Korea, roasted grain powder was traditionally made with steamed or roasted glutinous or nonglutinous rice, as well as barley. Today, there is a greater emphasis on balanced nutrition, so roasted grain powder is often augmented with other grains like black soybeans and oats, as well as healthy foods like seaweed and mugwort. Another name for this dish, “Seonsik,” refers to how it is used to nourish Buddhist monks during their meditation. It is rather difficult to eat as-is, so it is often mixed into water or milk to create a thick beverage. When put into water, it is called “Misu.” Some roasted grain powder can be added to the milk, along with a dash of honey, to create a simple meal.
