Kelp tea is a traditional Japanese and Korean tea made by infusing kelp in hot water.[1] It is called kobu-cha or konbu-cha (昆布茶) in Japan and dasima-cha (다시마차) in Korea.
Preparation
Korea
Either dried kelp powder, or julienned kelp can be used to make the tea.[1]
Powdered tea can be made by pan-frying and pounding cleaned and dried kelp.[2] For a cup of hot water, two to three spoons of kelp powder is used.[2] Optionally, sugar or honey can be added.[2]
Alternatively, around 30 grams (1.1 oz) of cleaned kelp pieces are infused in 300–500 millilitres (11–18 imp fl oz; 10–17 US fl oz) of hot water.[3] The kelp slices are removed after infusing, and salt is added to taste.[3]
