BARLEY BREW

RELATED CONTENT

Barley-either by itself or in combination with other grainsmakes a surprisingly good mock Java, too. And-at 20 to 254 per pound-the price is certainly right.

Mrs. R. Van Ryzin of Stratford, Wisconsin recommends the following procedure: First, spread a thin layer of barley (husks and all) onto a cookie sheet . . . then place the sheet inside a 425° oven and bake the grain (stirring frequently) until it's uniformly dark brown. Finally, grind the browned barley in an old coffee mill, food mill, or blender.

To make "Java", just perk one heaping teaspoon of barley per cup of water. Says Mrs. Vans Ryzin: "You won't believe the aroma. To me, it's just like Great Grandma's house used to smell is the early morn!"

AND THERE'S MORE!

Parsnips, wheat, chickpeas, and barley aren't the only ingredients that can be used to make rich, goodtasting coffee substitutes.

Oats, fax, rye, and (of course) chicory can also be made into delicious Java-like beverages . . . or coffee extenders. (Think how far you can stretch your coffee dollar by combining any one of the above ingredients with your favorite ground roast coffee!)

The high price of jays got you down? Relax. Brew up some Parsnip Postum or Wheat Java or Chickpea Surprise or Barley Brew: Have a good hot drink. And think of how much money you're savings!

More information on the making of coffee substitutes can 6e found in the booklet Mock Java, available for` 62.00 (plus 75d postage and handling) from General Printers, 13483 King George Highway, Surrey, B.C., Canada B3T 2T8, or from Mother's Bookshelf, P.O.
