Caffè D'orzo
Caffè d'orzo (; ), often shortened to simply orzo, is a type of hot drink, originating in Italy. Orzo is a caffeine-free roasted grain beverage made from ground barley ( in Italian, from Latin ). It is an espresso-style drink, and when prepared from the roasted barley directly, it can easily be made in typical espresso machines and coffeemakers. In Italy it is widely available in coffee vending machines and traditionally considered a coffee substitute for children. In Italy caffè d'orzo is made in traditional Italian espresso machines in cafes. Italian families tend, instead, to make it using an orziera, a special moka pot adapted to barley. During World War II and in the post-war era, caffè d'orzo and chicory became popular substitutes for coffee, which was expensive due to rationing and food shortages. In European countries with a very long post-war period, like for instance Spain, this image of barley as a cheap surrogate of coffee still remains in the memory of the pop ...

Orzo Latte
Orzo (, ; ; from Latin ), also known in Italy as (; 'large rains ofrice'), and popular in Greek cuisine as ''kritharaki'' (κριθαράκι), is a form of short-cut pasta shaped like a large grain of rice. Orzo is traditionally made from flour, but it can also be made of whole grain. It is often made with semolina, a type of flour made from durum wheat. The name is common for this pasta shape in North America, but less so in Italy, where the word usually still means 'barley'. Preparation There are many different ways to serve orzo. It can be an ingredient in soup, including avgolemono, a Greek soup, and in Italian soups, such as minestrone. It can also be part of a salad, a pilaf, or '' giouvetsi'', or baked in a casserole. It can also be boiled and lightly fried, to create a dish similar to risotto. When the pasta is made, orzo can be colored by saffron, chilies, and black beans to yield yellow, orange, or black pasta.
