Home Made Barley Water. by A.R.(David) Lewis

Before giving the recipe. I thought the readers might like to know the history of this drink.

In 1973 my wife read this article in a British Newspaper, the headline was "The Queen's Beautiful Secret",and went on to state that H.M.The Queen, used this recipe to maintain her dazzling skin, sparkling eyes, and trim figure.Home made Barley water was claimed to be from an old family recipe.The article claimed that the Queen drank it all the time, and preferred it to wine. I still have the old newspaper cutting.

Ingredients.
1. Tea cup of Pearl Barley.
6. Oranges.
2. Lemons.
4. Pints of boiling water.
Demerera sugar to taste.

Method.
Put the barley into a large sausepan, add the boiling water, simmer over a low heat,keeping the lid on for 1 hour.
Squeeze the fruit, and keep the juice.
Strain the water from the barley into a basin.
