Caffè d'Orzo (Italian Barley Coffee) vs Classic Builder's Tea
See how these two dishes stack up, ingredient by ingredient.
🇮🇹
🇬🇧Two questions, two answers
Caffè d'Orzo and Classic Builder's Tea are both warm, comforting cups, yet they treat milk very differently. The barley drink is brewed from lightly filled, untamped roasted grounds in a Moka pot, espresso machine or French press, and is best enjoyed black for its natural sweetness and nutty notes, with milk and sugar entirely optional. Builder's Tea steeps black tea in freshly boiled water until deep amber, then counts on a generous splash of milk for its tan colour, with sugar to taste. One is a gentle, caffeine-free sip; the other a robust, milky brew made for dunking a biscuit.
