Como fazer Old Fashioned Lemon Citrus Barley Water

Rinse 1 cup of pearl barley thoroughly under cold water.
Place the rinsed barley in a saucepan and cover with 4 cups of cold water. Bring to a boil, then drain the barley.
Return the drained barley to the saucepan. Add the zest of 1 large lemon and 10 cups of fresh water. Simmer gently over low heat for 1 hour, or until the barley is tender.
Remove from heat. Stir in the juice of 1 large lemon and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar (or to taste). Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Strain the barley water through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher or container. Discard the barley (or see bonus tip below!).
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the drink to chill thoroughly before serving.
Bonus Tip: Don't throw away the cooked barley! Mix it with some dried fruit (1/4 cup), nuts (1/4 cup), and warm milk (1 cup) for a nutritious and delicious breakfast.
