Beetroot Barley Drink

Updated: Aug 23, 2021

Sharing a healthy drink with bright red hue. Most people, however, seldom add beets as an ingredient to their dishes while some merely avoid eating it. In fact, the bad impression of this root has escalated concerning it's actual taste. But to others, they find this earthy taste most appealing.

Beets have low calories and rich in vitamins A, B, and C, beta-carotene, folic acid, potassium, and iron.

Beets helps boost the body's cellular intake of oxygen, making beets excellent overall body cleansers. Not only can they boost your energy and lower your blood pressure, but eating beets in the long-term can help you fight cancer, reduce arthritic pain, boost your brain as well as help you lose weight.


Does this drink taste nice? I would say, very subjective. If you have tried raw beetroot juice before, you will know the earthy taste in it. Some people love it while some don't. Even after boiling it, it's still taste much the same, despite the color turning into bright reddish. And you can taste a very very slight barley taste in your drink. Definitely not a typical asian barley drink. Try this healthier version.


Ingredients: (serves 3-4)

200g Beetroot

60g Barley

2pcs Pandan Leaves

1300ml Water

50-55g Rock Sugar



Step by Step:

1. Rinse barley & pandan leaves.

2. Cut beetroot into thick slices.


3. In a pot, add in water, barley, beetroot and pandan leaves.

4. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to let it simmer for 1 hour.

5. Add rock sugar and boil for another 20 mins till it dissolves.

6. Serve warm or chilled.



Happy Cooking.
