- Place the pearl barley in a sieve and rinse it with boiling water to wash off any dusty residue.

- Strain the mixture into a jug and add the sugar, stirring until it's dissolved, then pour in the lemon juice and leave the mixture to cool.
- Crush the raspberries using a potato masher, then strain the juice into the bowl with the barley water. Chill the cordial.
