Method

  1. Rinse the pearl barley in a sieve, then rub dry in a clean tea towel. Heat a small frying pan over a medium heat and add the barley. Toast, stirring constantly, for 4-5 mins until deep golden brown and nutty-smelling, then remove from the heat and transfer to a teapot.
  2. Pour over 500ml boiling water and stir in the honey. Allow to brew for 3-4 mins until golden, then pour into cups. Add an orange slice and a squeeze of juice to each cup for a little extra zing.
  • Tip: Any citrus works well here. Try grapefruit or lemon too.
