Lemon Barley Water

• 150 grams pearl barley
• 1 fresh lemon or lemon juice
• 1 small piece of ginger
• 3 cup water
• 1 favorite juice (optional)

1. Wash and soak the barley in 1 cup of boiled water for 4-6 hours or overnight.
2. It helps to cook faster.
3. ~Add 2 cups of water and let it boil in medium low heat for about 10-15 minutes.
4. ~Add a small piece of ginger.
5. ~Cook till the barley is soft and mushy.
6. ~Once its cooked, let it cool, strain and add the fresh lemon juice and honey.
7. Serve and enjoy ^^ You could also add your favorite juice to it and more honey if you want it sweet.
8. I like adding more lemon juice and some ice cubes to beat the summer heat.
9. ~store the rest of the barley water in a tight water bottle and refrigerate.
10. Stays fresh upto 2 days.
11. ~The left over cooked barley can be used to make salads, risotto or in stew.
12. I sautAS it with shallots and butter.
13. Yummm!
