boiling barley is becoming a frequent activity of mine

alrite... the heat is really getting to me... i'm having terrible headache and that's not a good sign. i wouldn't want to be sick & alone during the golden week holiday... that'll be totally unacceptable!

i decided i'll boil barley to counteract the heatiness (that's what we'll usually do in singapore). the other problem is that i've never boiled barley before - in the past, i just need to tell mummy and i'll have barley water to drink... now it's me who has to do it :-(

after speaking a "food consultant" (actually it's just mitch in hk), i went to buy the required ingredients (actually just barley seeds & water :p). went home & followed mitch's instructions - 1 cup of barley + 1 litre of water + 20mins boiling time.

end result - drinkable barley water!
