I love [[Barley|barley]] water and it is so good for you. Cannot buy it where I live (except one sort, with ghastly, sickly flavours) so this recipe is the one I make in my beloved [[Thermomix]].

===Recipe source===
* The basis for the recipe is one for Lemon Barley Water on the '''[http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/node/23717 Thermomix Australia website]''', but I wanted it to be more citrus-y with far less sugar. I rarely put barley in stews or soups so thought it would be better to grind it to benefit from its goodness.
===Variations===
You can use 4 [[Limes|limes]] instead of the [[Lemons|lemons]]. Experiment with other [[Grains|grains]] such as [[Oats|oats]], or whole [[Wheat|wheat]] [[Berries|berries]].
===Chef's notes===
The amount of [[Sugar|sugar]] is an estimate as it depends on the size and sweetness of your [[Oranges|oranges]], and also everyone has different ideas of what is and what isn't too sweet. I would start at 60g and add more water if too sweet, and more sugar if not sweet enough. I had to add a little extra water personally.
