Wimbledon has started - a favourite time of year for me - makes me nostalgic so I thought I'd share this here!

My Nanna Chaffer's recipe for Lemon Barley water:
3/4 of a cup of pearl barley
Finely grated zest and juice of two lemons
1/2 a cup of honey (more or less)
6 cups of water

1. Rinse the barley in a sieve
2. Place barley in a saucepan with the lemon zest and water
3. Boil over a medium heat for 10 minutes then strain off the liquid into a large jug
4. Stir in the honey and lemon juice - adjust sweetness to taste
5. chill in the fridge once cool
6. Keeps in the fridge for about a week.
