It pays to know what you are drinking here in Spain. We’d seen people with a delicious looking concoction which was black liquid topped with white ice cream – blanco y negro.
It seems that in some bars the black part will be cold coffee but in others, agua de cebada. Agua de cebada turns out to be water of barley – rather sweet but with an interesting flavour. Try one when you are next out!
PS If you don’t want the ice cream part, you can also order a granizado de cebada; like a lemon granizada but made with agua de cebada instead.
I don’t know; milk with cinnamon, horchata and now agua de cebada – we are been exposed to a whole new world of non-alcoholic drinks here in Spain. Forget the Coca Cola, these drinks are far more refreshing on a hot day.
