- 3 tablespoon Pearl Barley
- 6 cups Water
In a large pan, toast the pearl barley until brown and aromatic. Keep the heat low and constantly stir the barley to prevent burning. Barley takes about 7 to 8 minutes to be brown and aromatic. .
Add 6 cups of water to the same pan and bring it to a boil.
Once the water boils, simmer the flame and let the barley seep for about 20 minutes.
You can let the barley seep for any where between 5 to 30 minutes. 20 minutes for perfect for us as it had a good nutty flavor and at the same time was not too strong.
Strain the mixture and pour into glasses and enjoy.
You could serve it warm or cold. We liked ours warm and it was very soothing.
