Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the Orzo concentrate. Pour about 50ml of hot water into a cup or mug. Aim for water that is steaming but not boiling rapidly.
Step 2
Add 2 tablespoons of CRASTAN Organic Orzo powder to the hot water. Orzo is made from roasted barley, giving it a coffee-like aroma and flavor profile, but it’s naturally caffeine-free, making it a worry-free beverage.
Step 3
Using a small whisk or a spoon, stir the Orzo powder into the hot water until it is well dissolved and there are no clumps. Ensure a smooth, consistent mixture.
Step 4
Pour the prepared Orzo concentrate into your serving cup. For the hot version, top it off with the remaining 200ml of hot water. For the iced version, first fill your glass with 70-80g of ice cubes, then pour in the 150ml of cool water. Stir gently, and your smooth, aromatic Orzo Americano is ready to be enjoyed!
