Homemade Lemon Barley Water - a fantastic kidney and bladder cleanse.
An ancient remedy or an elixir to good health, barley water is an incredible beverage that our ancestors included in their daily diet. Since barley is a good source of soluble and insoluble fibre, vitamins, essential minerals (calcium, iron, manganese, magnesium, zinc and copper), anti-oxidants and phytochemicals which are believed to lower the risk of heart disease and diabetes, barley water too draws out these benefits to make itself a health booster.
Place 60g of pearl barley in a pan with a lid and cover with 1 litre of water. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least an hour. Using a sieve strain the liquid into a large jug, add cold water to make the liquid back up to 1 litre (run the cold water through the barely in the sieve to get out more goodness). Add the juice of a freshly squeezed lemon as this adds an alkalising action. You can add a teaspoon of honey while it's warm to sweeten it, although it is not necessary. Enjoy drinking the barley water throughout the day in cupful amounts. Any leftovers can be kept in the fridge.
