Old School Cooler: Barley Water from Canal House Cooking, Volume No 4 | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn. Sometimes I want a cooling drink that's not too sweet, so I was intrigued to discover a recipe for Barley Water in the new summer issue of Canal House Cooking (Vol 4). I'll admit that it sounds a little odd. I mean, who would think that sipping on water that was used to boil barley would be a good thing, even with the addition of lemon and orange and a touch of sugar?

But I cannot recommend this simple drink highly enough. It is indeed far greater than the sum of its parts. Read on for the recipe and a quick peek into the new issue of Canal House Cooking. Canal House has just released their fourth volume, coming full circle from last year's launch with the Summer issue, volume one. (See our review of volumes one and two here and volume three here.)

As with the other issues, the book opens with a welcoming letter from authors Melissa Hamilton and Christopher Hirsheimer. Other chapters focus on herbs, tomatoes, luncheon salads, fish, the grill and sweets. Wash the barley well. 5 Rad Purple Potato Recipes.

Best Salad Recipes - Green Salad Recipes. How to Roast Jalapeños | The Shiksa Blog. Ever wondered how to roast a jalapeño? If you’re like me, you love the flavor of jalapeño, but find its spiciness a bit overwhelming in certain dishes. Roasting jalapeños mellows their spiciness and gives them a nice, smoky flavor. It’s a pretty simple process. I’m providing two methods here– one for under the oven broiler, and one for on top of the gas stovetop or grill flame.

These methods can actually be used for any kind of medium sized chili pepper (the ones that are around the same size as a jalapeño). Why in the world did I decide to write a blog about how to roast jalapeños?
