FWIW, I think what you're talking about may be a Korean product,
which, yes, is for making an infusion of roasted barley, a sort of tea.
However, I also think this is different from European barley water,
which is basically water boiled with barley until it has taken on a
starchy, slightly mucilaginous viscosity (then usually sweetened and
flavored).
Adamantius, in need of roasted bean infusions...
