BARLEY WATER HISTORY
Barley water, usually flavored with lemon or other fruit, is a popular British soft drink. It can be made by boiling washed pearl barley, straining, then pouring the hot water over the rind and/or pulp of the fruit, and adding fruit juice and sugar to taste. The rind may also be boiled with the barley.
Drinking boiled barley in water, strained or not, is an ancient practice. Barley water has been used as a first baby food, before feeding with barley mush. It is also used to treat cystitis. In Mexico drinks called aguas frescas are made by street vendors using similar methods.
In Britain, Robinson's Lemon Barley Water, now a Britvic brand, is popular with parents and children alike. It is sold in bottles of one liter of concentrate, which is usually diluted with three to five parts cold water. It may also be drunk hot, which tends to affect tooth enamel temporarily, giving an odd feeling that the teeth have become a little soft, though there is no permanent change.
Lemon Barley Water has a long association with Wimbledon, being still the official drink supplied to players on the court.
The politician Josiah Wedgwood, 1st Baron Wedgwood is said to have staged a filibuster in Parliament, sustaining himself with barley water and chocolate, in 1913.
