Barley Water


Here is one of the many things I am trying to jump start my milk production!

1 c of Whole or Pearl Barley
6c of water
2 table spoons of Fennel seed
2 table spoons of Fenugreek seed
Simmer for 1/2 hour to 2 hours. I have read the longer you let it steep the stronger the effect; but more than 2 hours is unnecessary. During the last 10 min add the fennel seed, and fenugreek seed. If you can't find one or the other or, have a preference, you can just use one of them. Sieve off the water and toss out the barley, (it has no flavor at this point.) About half of the water is going to boil off so it the "milk" is too think to drink add some fresh water. Sweeten if desired and drink up!


As always please consult your Lactation consultant before ingesting!
