hey there,

I'm wondering if anyone here knows Spanish well enough to translate a couple of recipies from Spanish to English. I have a couple of recipies for Agua de Cebada which I can deduce bits and peices of... but not enough to figure them out... here they are:

AGUA DE CEBADA

Ingredientes

- 1 l de agua de cebada :

- 4 tazas de agua.

- Media taza de cebada

- 1 cucharada de azúcar integral de caña

- Canela ( opcional)

- Piel de limón ( opcional)

Preparación

- Se pone el agua a hervir.

- Cuando esta hirviendo se añade la cebada y se deja cocer durante 45 minutos a fuego lento.

- Luego, se cuela la cebada y se separa del agua

- Añadir una cucharad de azucar de caña y remover bien.

- Opcionalmente, se le puede añadir al agua una rodaja de limón o un trocito de canela.

Utilidades

Se utilizara para cortar la diarrea, y para quitar la sed e hidratar el organismo en los días de mucho calor. Tomar dos o tres vasos al dia bien fríos.

Agua de Cebada

para 6 personas
150     gr. cebada en grano
1     l. agua
1 1/2     cuchara sopera azúcar
1     piel de limón (opcional)
1     canela en rama (opcional)

Poner la cebada en un colador y dejarla bajo el chorro de agua fría, moviendo los granos con la mano para limpiarlos. Cuando el agua salga transparente, dejarlos escurrir brevemente y pasarlos a una cazuela.

Cubrir la cebada con el agua y llevar a ebullición. En ese momento, bajar el fuego y dejarlo de este modo hasta que los granos de cebada estén tiernos (3/4 hora aprox.).

Colar el agua y dejarla en el recipiente en el que se vaya a servir. Añadir el azúcar (se indican 1 y 1/2 cucharadas, pero esta cantidad de azúcar puede modificarse según gustos) y remover hasta que se haya disuelto.

Si lo desea, puede añadir al agua la piel del limón y la ramita de canela (añadirlos cuando el líquido ya esté fuera del fuego).

Dejar en el frigorífico y servir frío.

cold glasses to the affluent day.

Afligido, me espanol es muy malo.

That's a half cup of barley, not an average one! Note how the translator program leaves verbs (verbos) in the infinitive form (to cover the barley, to leave in refrigerator...) Just take off the word "To." I don't think it is saying to use a litre of barley water. I believe it makes a liter of barley water. Tiernos = "are tender". I can't believe it would serve 6150 people! :) It serves 6 people. It uses 150 grams of barley. I'll bet it would be good with a tot of rum.

Ciao

Carlos
