I love this drink so couldn't believe it when I saw it wasn't on Zaar. This is from the back of a packet of Pearl Barley. You can also experiment with a mixture of other citrus juices such as lime or grapefruit. Ingredients:
1/2 cup pearl barley |
water |
10 cups water, extra |
1 lemon, rind of, grated |
1 cup lemon juice (or other juice of choice) |
1 cup sugar |
Directions:
1. Rinse the barley well.
2. Cover barley in a pot with cold water & bring to the boil, drain.
3. Return barley to saucepan with the lemon rind & 10 cups water, cook slowly for 1 hour.
4. Add the lemon juice & sugar and stir until sugar has dissolved.
5. Strain and chill to serve.
6. Discarded barley can be mixed with some dried fruit & nuts and warm milk and makes a great breakfast.
