Barley Water Recipe

Boil a couple of ounces of barley, in two quarts of water, till

soft--pearl barley is the best, but the common barley answers very well.

When soft, strain and mix it with a little currant jelly, to give it a

pleasant, acid taste. If the jelly is not liked, turn it, when boiled

soft, on to a couple of ounces of figs or raisins, and boil it again,

till reduced to one quart, then strain it for use.
