Peral barley lemon drink is a common beverage in Hong Kong. During the fiercely hot summer time, many moms will make this lemony drink for their family to cool off their bodies.
In this drink, we combine two different types of barley, the raw barley and the toasted barley. Since we believe every food contains different elements like "yin and yang" or "cold and hot", we consider raw barley to be "cold" and roasted barley to be "hot". By combining the two barley together, we can balance the extreme elements that benefits our bodies.
