Ingredients to make Barley Water:
- 200 grams of roasted barley
- 2 liters of water
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 lemon (optional)
- 4 tablespoons of sugar (sweetener, sucralose or brown sugar)
How to make Barley Water:
- The first thing to prepare this refreshing barley water is to wash the grains. Soak the barley in a bowl with water and stir the grains to clean them well.
- Strain the dirty water and repeat this process as many times as you need until the water runs clear when you strain the beans.
- In a pot with 2 liters of water and the cinnamon stick, cook the barley until tender. Leave it for about 30 to 40 minutes over medium-low heat so that it does not completely evaporate.
- Once off, let the barley water cool and strain it. Put the sugar or sweetener of your choice and add the lemon juice. Serve with plenty of ice and enjoy this delicious and refreshing drink! If you can’t have sugar, check out our Healthy Sugar Substitutes article for other sweetener options.
