Barley swells and chills and is not eaten well and damages 
all the people, who  have the affliction, and come of a cold 
nature or have colic in the body.  But for hot people and those 
who would happily be smaller, then it is good.  And if one eats 
of drinks it together with fennel, so it is good for many faults 
in the breast, and Avicenna says, that barley water harms the 
stomach, which then is cold.  It is also very good for feverish 
people.

   2 TBP dry Barley
1/4 tsp. fennel seed

Directions:
Boil 4 cups of water.  Rinse barley a couple of times.  
Put boiling water, and barley with fennel in crockpot 
for 2 hours.  Makes enough for 1 person.
