In the case of summer, I want to drink something cool, but the juice is delicious, and there are many new summer menus!. I ordered rice flour latte a while ago and it was so delicious! I wrote this article because I wanted to introduce you to the healthy and delicious Korean beverage Misutgaru.

What is Rice Flour?

Misu, Misutgaru, or Seonsik is a traditional Korean preserved food made by drying and grinding grain into a fine powder. Get on and drink!. Grain flour, similar to rice flour, is used as a wonderful preserve in many parts of the world, and in Korea it is traditionally made by steaming or roasting glutinous, non-glutinous, or barley rice. These days, various other grains such as beans, or powders such as seaweed or mugwort are added!.

Rice Flour History

In the past, the method of drying grains into powder was the most primitive way of preserving food. Humanity has been using grain flour as food, preservation, and emergency food for a long time!. There are several theories, such as the theory that rice flour, in the form of drinking today, came to the Korean Peninsula from India via China, and that it started in China and spread to India, the Korean Peninsula, and Mongolia, but it is not clear. For this reason, the prevailing view is that misu powder is naturally occurring. Drying was a storage method that came down from ancient times, and even if you don't have to separate the East and the West, records show that Greeks and Romans mixed barley flour and wheat flour and drank or boiled them in water while traveling!

taste of wheat flour

Rice flour is characterized by its savory taste and tastes like grains. However, if you mix grain powder with water and eat it, it will be mild. In the past, of course, the only way to eat rice flour was to mix it with water, but in modern times when milk is widely available, the method of drinking rice flour mixed with milk is widely used. The taste is much more savory than if you just put it in water, so it's delicious, and in terms of nutrition, it's enough for a simple meal haha. It's okay to mix it with soy milk and drink it!.

A little bit of honey will make it sweeter. However, if you add too little honey, it will turn sour, and if you add too much, the heat will increase and it will become too sweet, so be careful. If you add sugar casually, there is no sour taste, and it is said that the texture is improved because the sugar is crunchy in the lumps of rice flour that are less melted! Other than that, I put it in red bean shaved ice and eat it, and I also add it to other foods such as steamed potatoes!

Rice flour has been around for a long time, right? Haha. Rice flour is sold in many places in Korea, and it is often on the menu at cafes. Everyone, give it a try!. A delicious and healthy drink. Rice flour also has many benefits. I will introduce the effect in the next article.
