Awesome drink to boost lactation !!! Great for B vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants and so much more! It tastes amazing too!!!!!

 

Ingredients

1/2 cup Barley

1/2 tsp cinnamon or 1 stick

sugar to taste… or honey… or none ( I don’t add sugar)

4 cups of water

 

Simmer in a pot for 35-40 minutes. The barley will thicken and form a milky consistency. Let sit to cool slightly and strain barley from water. Keep water mixture and drink the way it is or add milk or almond milk for an extra creamy treat with Ice. 🙂 Yummy

2 cups flour

2 sticks salted butter (softened)

1/2 cup powdered sugar
