Lemon Barley Drink 檸檬薏米水

Lemon barley drink is a perfect combination for summer. They are so refreshing and actually very healthy. Barley  provides a range of important vitamins and minerals: fiber, selenium, B vitamins and so much more.  With the lemon, it helps to reduce edema and whitening your skin as well.  This is one of the best drinks for ladies. 

It is super easy to make, I cook a large pot of barley drink and keep it in fridge. I drink at least 2 glasses everyday and it is perfect for summer! 

大家有喝薏米水的習慣嗎？??我已飲了多年，每天都飲，煮一大煲，放入雪櫃（冰箱），早上加檸檬片飲一杯，下午又飲一杯。果然可去水腫，利尿排毒。??

薏米又叫薏仁，非常有益，功效多多。薏米有生熟之分： 生薏米，有清熱利水，美白消腫，祛濕排毒之功效，但較寒涼，經期中和懷孕中的女仕不宜喝。熟薏米就是炒過的薏米，較大粒，有健脾作用。

Soak the barley in water for one hour. Put the barley and water into a large pot, bring it to boil. Then turn to low heat and cook for 45 minutes. 

Then add in rock sugar to taste, add sliced lemon before served.

左面是生薏米，右面是熟薏米。先將生熟薏米沖水，然後浸一小時。將生熟薏仁放入大煲內，加入水，用中火煮沸，然後轉小火煮45分鐘。

再加冰糖調味，享用時加入檸檬片享用。

＊熟薏米是經炒過的薏米，可看乾貨店或中藥店買到 
＊檸檬在最後先加，否則煮過的檸檬會有苦澀味 
＊經期中和懷孕中的女仕不宜喝
