Zubereitung von Refreshing Lemon Barley Water
- Rinse 1/2 cup of pearl barley in a fine-mesh sieve under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Combine the rinsed barley, zest of 1 lemon, and 6 cups of water in a medium saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the barley is tender.

- Stir in 2 tablespoons of honey until completely dissolved.

- Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
