The following recipes and suggestions concerning a few beverages which
can be used as substitutes for more stimulating drinks may prove
useful to many readers:--
=233. Barley Water.=
Mix a tablespoonful of Pearl Barley with a pint of water and boil for
half-an-hour. Flavour with lemon, cinnamon or sugar, according to
taste, and allow the mixture to cool. For invalids requiring nutriment
a larger quantity of barley should be used.
Barley Water is equally suitable for winter use and can be taken hot.
=234. Wheatenade.=
Simmer 1-lb. of crushed wheat in 1-qt. of water for about an hour,
stirring it occasionally. Strain, add lemon juice and sugar to taste,
for use in summer, or milk and sugar if the drink is taken hot in
winter. Good and clean bran can be substituted for crushed wheat. This
is a capital drink for children with a tendency to rickets, or for
persons suffering from nervous prostration caused by malnutrition.
=235. Oatenade.=
