Method
- Place the pearl barley in a sieve and rinse it with boiling water to wash off any dusty residue.
- Pour 2 litres (3½ pints) water into a saucepan, add the pearl barley and lemon rind and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, then simmer the mixture for about 30 mins.
- Strain the mixture into a jug and add the sugar, stirring until it's dissolved, then pour in the lemon juice and leave the mixture to cool.
- Crush the raspberries using a potato masher, then strain the juice into the bowl with the barley water. Chill the cordial.
- When ready to use, dilute the cordial to taste, with approximately equal quantities of cold water. The cordial may be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the fridge.
Top Tip for making Pink lemonade
