A roasted grain beverage (also grain coffee) is a hot beverage made from one or more cereal grains roasted and commercially processed into crystal or powder form to be reconstituted later in hot water. The product is often marketed as a caffeine-free alternative to coffee and tea, or in other cases where those beverages are scarce or expensive.〔Yvona Fast, ("Kicking the Coffee Habit: Going Caffeine-Free with Grain-Based Beverages" ), ''E–The Environmental Magazine'', May 1, 2010 .〕 Several well-known roasted grain beverages are Nestlé Caro, Postum, and Inka. Other brands can be found at health food stores and at some grocery stores. Some common ingredients include toasted barley, malted barley, rye, chicory, molasses, and beet root. ==Asian grain infusions== Roasted grain beverages are popular in Polish (brands Inka, Krakus, Anatol, Kujawianka) and East Asian cuisines, Korea,〔Alex Jung, ("20 delicious Korean drinks" ), CNN.com, October 13, 2011.〕 Japan, and China each having one or more versions (usually roasted grains simply steeped in hot water). Often, during the communist period in Russia and Eastern Europe the grain beverages served as substitute of coffee during perpetual shortages. *Genmaicha is green tea blended with roasted brown rice. *Hyeonmi cha is brewed, roasted brown rice. *Boricha is an infusion made from roasted barley and usually drunk as a cool summer beverage. *Sobacha is an infusion made from roasted buckwheat kernels and drunk as a tea. *Oksusu cha is brewed roasted corn infusion; due to its sweetness it is sometimes served alongside or mixed with ''boricha'' to soften the latter's bitterness. *Sungnyung is made from rice scorched while boiling. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roasted grain beverage」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
