Sorry, but this doesn’t appeal to me at all. I usually only drink cold water in this heat…no sodas or ice teas, etc.
Thank you for the interesting video. The channel seems like a gem for anyone interested in daily life in past times!
So THAT’s how they did barley water. It’s actually pretty intuitive and not much different than what I had imagined it would be to make it. But I’ve seen it so often in Regency fiction. Of course always meaning to look it up, I would forget all about doing that by the time I got past the scenes of crisis…the hero or heroine with fever, or great injury, etc. Believe this or not, I met a woman, a wife of a work colleague of my husband’s, they were from Korea. She had a boy not much younger than mine at the time (this was back in the 80’s) we hit it off, got together more than several times (before my husband was transferred) and she cooked for us teaching me some of her recipes. She kept barley water in her fridge as a refreshing drink. I never tried it as it just didn’t appeal to me, and I’ve scolded myself ever since. So, it’s still made and enjoyed by some cultures today. But I learned how to make Bulgogi 35 yrs before it became hip here.
So, thank you, Maria. That was fun.
