   tfw you want another warm drink, but you've already had too much caffeine (and don't really want to drink herbal tea)

     @artcollisions here in Italy we have caffé d'orzo which is a barley (orzo) powder that is dissolved in water, doesn't have anything to do with coffee (caffé), but doesn't feel like an herbal tea either (it's a bit denser than (herbal) tea, but less dense than a hot chocolate).

     Also, some people grew up on it (while the adults were drinking coffee) and love it, and other people hate it :D

     @valhalla Interesting! I think I've had barley tea, actually, in an Asian restaurant that I really liked.

     I love that it's so controversial!

     I spent a semester in Italy in 1992, but don't remember coming across this option. Maybe I was too enamored of the cappuccini and lattes, not to mention the pudding like hot chocolates!
