• 3 tbsp toasted barley (cebada tostada)
• 1 tbsp flaxseed
• 1 tbsp horsetail or green tea
• 1 tbsp dried boldo leaves, if you can find them
• 1L water
• juice of 2 limes
• honey or sugar to taste

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Simmer the barley in the water for 15 min until the liquid turns dark amber.
2. Add the flaxseed and herbs, take off the heat, cover and steep 10 min.
3. The flaxseed gives it a faintly silky texture. That is meant to happen and is half the point.
4. Strain well.
5. Add lime juice and sweeten to taste.
6. Drunk hot from street carts on cold Lima mornings, usually described as good for absolutely everything.
