Lemon Barley Water recipe please!

Yep! I noticed that. We are being watched on here I think

Thank you to everyone for replying.
I will add those ingredients to my on line order for tomorrow and see what we get!

(Tickled also now to see here Tesco ads for Robinson's squash?)

I once made lemon barley water as an alternative to the bought potassium citrate which was given in the old days for UTIs.
And was really horrible. neither helped much.
Just boil a handful of barley in a pint of water. Strain it and add some pure lemon juice to the strained liquid.

Taken from my mum’s recipe book (1948!)

1 ounce pearl barley
1 pint cold water
Rind and juice of 1 lemon
Sugar to taste

1. Wash and blanch the barley, then put it in a pan with the water and thinly-peeled lemon rind.
2. Simmer slowly for 2 hours then strain and sweeten to taste.
3. Add the strained lemon juice.

I prefer H1954’s version, though!

I'll have a go at that recipe too. Thanks H. However, I'll replace the lemon s with limes. I find them twice as juicy with little or no white pith and half the price. Lovely........

That looks a good recipe and we have a few lemons on the tree , will pick them tomorrow.

Ooh I love lemon barley so I’m going to make some I have a bag of barley already as it goes in stews in the Winter just need some lemons.

What a nice old recipe I must try it I love lemons in everything possible.

PS. ixion, I notice you said that home made lemonade makes you cough. There are some squashes that make me cough and my throat feel really uncomfortable. I always thought it was due to colouring additives, but as yours is home made that can't be the case. Strange, isn't it.

I always wondered what the barley added to the cordial, vitamins, flavour?

Morning everyone. I buy Robinsons lemon barley from Tesco.

There you go

Sorry, I don't know how to make it, but I did see some Robinson's Lemon Barley in Tesco's just last week.

Thank you!
I was able to buy the Robinson's ( THE ?) version in my online Sainsbury's shop, prompted by the Wimbledon Effect - although, sadly, now no longer a Sponsor...

I can't help I'm afraid, but I have noticed I can no longer buy this in supermarkets. Do they not make it any more?

Hope you and your family are soon feeling much better ixion.
