600ml (1 pint) Water 50g (2oz) Pearl Barley ½ Lemon 1 tbsp Sugar
Place the barley into a sieve and pour over 1.2 - 1.8lt (2 - 3 pints) of boiling water to scald and cleanse it (this aids in producing a clearer colour for the finished barley water). Finely peel the lemon, removing only the outer waxy layer and squeeze the juice. Place the barley, lemon rind and water into a saucepan and simmer covered for 20 minutes. Strain through a jelly bag or muslin cloth. Add the lemon juice and sugar to taste. Allow to cool and refrigerate before drinking. Use within 24 hours.
