barley-water
Boiled cereal beverage
Barley-water is a drink made by boiling barley in water, then straining and often flavoring the liquid with lemon or other citrus.
Once a common home remedy for digestive complaints and fever, it remains popular in Britain as a mild, slightly sweet beverage: She sipped barley-water while recovering from the flu.
