BARLEY DRINK

Ingredients:

100 grms pearl barley
3 screw pine leaves for flavouring
1500 ml water
Rock sugar to taste

Method:
Wash the barley well to remove the white powder.
Bring the water to boil in a big pot.
Add in the washed barley and bring to boil again.
Simmer till the barley becomes soft and the water turns
slightly milky. It will take about 40 minutes.
Add in the pandan leaves and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat, and discard the pandan leaves.
Drain and keep the cooked barley separately.
( the cooked barley will make the drink slimy, if you do not
remove immediately)
Add rock sugar to taste. Add 1 tbs of the cooked barley into
a glass and pour the chilled or warm barley and serve with a straw.
