Barley Water

Created by Tisme on October 28, 2018

10 cups water
1 tablespoon ginger root ( fresh ginger, peeled grated or finely sliced, optional)
Mint leaves for serving (optional)

Step 1: Place the barley in a sieve and rinse under cold water until water runs clear; Then place the barley into saucepan with the lemon rind, ginger and water. Bring the barley water to a boil, over a medium heat & once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 50 minutes to an hour.
Step 2: Add the lemon juice and sugar and stir well until all the sugar has dissolved.
Step 3: Strain the water, let cool bottle then chill.
Step 4: Serve in a glass with ice and mint leaves.
Step 5: NOTE: I saw this idea on the Mc Kenzie website ~ Instead of discarding the barley, you can use the cooking barley to stir through yogurt or serve with fruit for a nice breakfast.
