Ingredients

2 cups pearl barley
1 gallon spring water
1 cup granulated sugar
Juice of 8 oranges, strained
Juice of 4 lemons, strained
Orange and lemon slices for garnish

Directions

Rinse the barley in a colander under cold-running water until water runs clear, 1-2 minutes. In a large stockpot, bring the spring water and sugar to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add rinsed barley and bring to a boil again. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 1 hour. Remove from heat, strain into a large pot or jug, and allow to cool to room temperature. Stir in the juices; and add more sugar to taste. Serve chilled, garnished with fruit slices.
