How To Make Gruel With Pearl Barley Recipe

Put four ounces of pearl barley in a saucepan with two quarts of cold

water and a small stick of cinnamon, and set the whole to boil very

gently by the side of the fire (partly covered with the lid) for two

hours; then add the sugar and the wine, boil all together a few minutes

longer, and then strain the gruel through a colander into a jug, to be

kept in a cool place until required for use; when it can be warmed up in

small quantities.



As this kind of gruel is a powerful cordial, it is to be borne in mind

that it should never be administered unless ordered by a medical man.
