This is how the Romans made their barley water.

Directions

Cover & simmer the barley in 4 cups (2 pints / 1 litre) of water for 1½ hours. Strain off the juice into a jug and discard the barley.

Mix the juice with the wine and honey and top up with more water to make 4 cups (2 pints / 1 litre) of drink. Chill.
