Instructions

Step 1 – Measure your barley out, and arrange it in a single layer on a baking sheet

Step 2 – Toast the barley in an oven set to 150 Fahrenheit, or as low as your oven can comfortably go, for 30 minutes, or until the barley is just beginning to develop toastiness

Optionally, if you have a dehydrator:

Step 3 – Arrange your barley on a rack in your dehydrator, and set it to “grains and pulses.” Dehydrate until completely dry.

Step 4 – Once totally dry, transfer your barley pieces into a blender and pulse a few times, and then set the blender to low speed.

Step 5 – Blend the barley until it has completely turned into a fine powder, and then pour it into a sealable container and store it for up to 1 month.
