I know everyone always says you need to stay hydrated but when I get tired of drinking water I just don’t know what to drink .  I ran into this tea on Pinterest and thought it would be interesting to try.

Take some barley toast it in a pan.   The recipe says to use a cast iron pan but I think you can use any pan you have. You want to keep moving the barley around so that it can toast evenly.  It will start to smell like popcorn.

Once it is toasted, transfer to a pot and fill with water.

Bring to a boil and reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Cool and enjoy.

It tastes like popcorn water but hey it tasted good…. and it was nice change.
