The local supermarket begins to feature fruit syrups, particularly mint and orzata, for summer drinks. Orzata, historically made from barley, has seen variations over time, now commonly using almonds. An attempt to recreate orzata from freshly cooked barley water led to an interesting taste transformation. By adding lemon zest and sugar to the barley water, then mixing it with fizzy water and ice, a delightful drink was created. Despite its slightly soapy taste, the resulting beverage captured the essence of summer refreshment perfectly.
Orzata, originally a drink made from barley, has evolved to use almonds and deacidified benzoin, becoming a refreshing summer beverage especially popular in Italy.
Barley water is often discarded after cooking, but with the right enhancements such as lemon zest and sugar, it can be transformed into a delightful drink.
Mixing barley water with fizzy water creates a unique summer drink that captures the essence of refreshment, despite its slight soapy texture from the barley.
The process of creating barley-based orzata involves straining, sweetening, and aesthetic presentation, illustrating the blend of culinary tradition and modern enjoyment.
