Barley Water Infant Feeding 19 Calories Recipe

1 teaspoon barley flour

2 tablespoons cold water

1 pint boiling water



Blend flour and cold water to a smooth paste in top of double boiler;

add gradually the boiling water. Boil over direct heat five minutes,

stirring constantly, then put over boiling water and cook 15 minutes

longer, stirring frequently. Older infants take the barley water in much

more concentrated form. Barley water is used as a diluent with normal

infants and in forms of diarrhoea.



NOTE.--For children or adults, use 1/2 tablespoon barley or rice flour,

1 cup boiling water, 1/4 teaspoon salt.
