I made this lemon barley water from my dad's instructions when my partner had a kidney problem, and he loves it so much that I make it all the time now and he drinks it instead of coffee!
There are many health conditions this soothing drink can help with, including: -urinary tract infections -weight loss and cholesterol maintenance -kidney stones -acne -detoxing -aiding digestion This drink is also full of anti-oxidants, which are reputedly fantastic for cancer prevention and the promotion of a healthy heart, and it includes vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9 and vitamin E too, so it makes a great winter tonic for the whole family! WHAT YOU NEED: Juice of 2 lemons 1/2 cup pearl barley 2 tblsp honey spring water WHAT TO DO: -Put the barley into a saucepan and fill almost to the top with spring water -Bring to the boil then cover and simmer for approx 20 mins -Drain water through a sieve into a bowl ( Save barley to add to a soup or stew) -To the barley water add the lemon juice and stir in the honey -Leave to cool then pour int a jug and transfer into a glass bottle -Store in the fridge, but warm before consuming

These are so simple and so yummy, I seem to be making them all the time at the moment. They are quite soft but the peanuts give them a satisfying extra crunchiness.
WHAT YOU NEED: 1 cup spelt flour 1 1/2 cups oats 3/4 cup soft butter 3/4 cup honey 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 egg 3 heaped dessert spoons crunchy peanut butter WHAT TO DO: - In a large bowl mix together the oats, flour and baking soda -Add butter, egg and honey and mix in - If mixture is too wet add a little more flour or oats -Grease 1 or 2 baking tray's and dollop dessert spoons of mixture on, then flatten and shape into circles approx 1cm thick - Bake at 200 degrees c for 10-12 minutes - Remove from oven and allow to cool (a little! ) before eating |
