My throat have been feeling a little uncomfortable, a sign that I will develop a sore throat if I do nothing about it. I guess it was partly due to the haze in Singapore and my less than good diet.
I decided to make this easy to brew cooling barley water to stave off the sore throat.
Directions
Take 2-3 handful of barley and wash it in water.
Add the washed barley to 500ml of water and bring it to boil.
Turn the heat down after the water has come to a boil and add in a few pieces of winter melon sugar according to your preference of sweetness.
Allow the barley to simmer for another 5-10 minutes and turn off the heat.
The barley water is ready when it is cool enough to your liking.
It is better to add some pandan leaves to cook, but I didn't have it at home, so I left it out.
Happy cooling!
