my son is beginning to reject barley drink too and likes this so much when i made this for him =) he kept pestering me to add more barley into his drink because they are smaller and chewy.. I’m so glad to have come across this post. thanks so much!

KY: Yeah, both are great thirst quenchers! I just learnt that there are many grades for orange peels. I bought mine from Hock Hua. It is more expensive and the cost is measured based on its weight. But the smell is very fragrant. Hope to hear your feedback on trying my red bean with lotus seeds. If your budget allows, try to buy Azuki beans (Japanese red beans). It tastes superb!

Nazatul: Sorry, I’m not a qualified person to advise you on the dosage and frequency to reduce your heatiness. Well, there is still no harm to drink 2-3 cups for a normal person. You can also make chrysantenum tea (without wolfberry) and waterchestnuts and bamboo cane drink too. They have the similar cooling functions. If your condition still persists, please consult your doctor. Hope it helps.

I’m at wits end to bring down my temp. This is the 3rd day where my temp remains at 37.1. It’s not fever and yet not the normal body temp. It’s making me uneasy, restless and lethargic. I hope barley will really help.
What is the usual dosage and frequency to help lose the heatiness?

Barley lemonade or barley lime with ice is delicious!

I didn’t know I have to scrap off the pith until I read your red bean soup post. I buy the peel in a pack and just rinse and use.

I bought lotus seeds today and will try the red bean with lotus seeds. I never cooked lotus seeds with red bean before.

KY: Thanks for sharing your feedback. Another version you can try is barley lemonade. No pandan leave is required. Just add a few drops of lemon juice.

As for the red bean soup, the orange peel can create the bitter taste too. Did you scrap off the pith?

I’m enjoying my bowl of hot barley drink now. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I made it a few times but always ‘agak’ the portions so my barley water was either too thin or too thick.

Thanks too for the tip on not overcooking the pandan leaves. No wonder my red bean soup had a bitter taste. I thought it was due to the orange peel!
