Barley Water (Air Barli) is a beloved everyday drink, prized for its cooling properties in Chinese traditional medicine. Simmering 100 grams of barley grains with pandan leaves and rock sugar for 45 minutes creates a golden, aromatic broth containing 120 mg of potassium per cup. This traditional beverage is cheaper than the typical rival at hawker stalls, selling for around RM 2.50 per glass. Its light sweetness and refreshing profile make it a popular choice at Chinese medicine shops and modern beverage chains, offering a health-conscious alternative to sweeter options like #6 Bandung Rose Drink.
