my first ever attempt at making barley water!
not bad for a start. although i have no idea how much barley to add! and for that little pot, i had like 7 sachets of sugar! is that normal?!
ended up with one cup (above) plus half of my thermos cup. =) happy happy.

living overseas makes you appreciate the little pleasures in life. like barley water.

maybe i'll buy the chrysanthemum and luo han guo too! hehe see how.

boiling it for a second time. make full use of it! with less water of course. =)

bought tom yum paste, beehoon, instant oats, chai sim and oyster sauce too!

maybe i'll cook the chai sim over the weekend considering how i'll be away at bruny and snug next week! unless.. i bring them over and cook! =) wahahaha! that will be cool!

will be staying mon and tues night so will only be back on wed night! =)


now for my homemade condensed milk for my barley seeds!

1. pour milk and bring to a boil
2. reduced to half the volume
3. add sugar to taste
4. boil till required consistency
5. strain (because you'll get all those milk skin things)
6. store for up to 3 weeks!

tada! ok ignore the burnt part alright? its the sugar! and the volume was too small. was soo yummy! can't believe i'm actually cooking by myself!

mummy aren't you proud of me? =)

finished product! just barely enough to coat all my barley seed. which is alright considering how sweet it actually is. hehehe..

yummy....
