Roast Barley. Used as a coffee substitute in Italy

There is this strange stuff from I get from all over South America, some parts of African and the Middle East to bit bigger than most barley can be a bit of a pain to mill.

I find about 25-50 g steeped in boiling water or better yet steam extracted adds a wonderful coffee like flavour to a stout or porter

Now what is that stuff called again ...right on the tip of my tongue....

Just for interest sake, Columbia with a 'u' is a city in America. Colombia with an 'o' is the country in South America...

I got some Simpsons Chocolate malt in the recent BB, I think it has a very nice coffee-like aroma/taste.
