Barley Water

1. 60 g (2 oz) pearl barley.                                                 3. 30 g (1 oz) sugar.
2. 1.25 l (1 qt) water.                                                         4. 1 lemon (if desired)


    Blanch the barley, then put it with water in an enamel saucepan and simmer for 2 hours. Strain, add sugar and cool. Lemon juice may be added.

    Barley water should be made fresh daily as it does not keep well.
