Steps

  1. Wash the barley and soak it for more than four hours (it can be soaked in the refrigerator overnight). If you use dried lily, it also needs to be soaked for 2 hours. Doing this can greatly shorten the cooking time. After all, on such a hot day, the fire is a big heat source. The fully soaked mung beans and barley will become rotten after simmering it for 20 minutes.
