2. Barley Water for Invalids.
Take of Robinson’s Patent Barley one ounce, mix with a wine-glassful of cold water into a smooth paste free from lumps, pour this into a stew-pan containing one quart of boiling water, stir this over the fire while boiling for five minutes: then flavour with a small bit of lemon peel or cinnamon, and sweeten according to taste.
When Robinson’s Patent Barley is used to make a Summer beverage, only half-an-ounce must be taken. It can be greatly improved by aeration with the aid of “Sparklets.”
