We have been loving the beautiful weather that we have had recently. The garden is filled with laughter as the boys play in their paddling pool, water fights are plenty and the smell of the BBQ sizzling up a tasty treat makes me smile. I do love summer!
Garden parties and delicious Barleycup treats!
I love to have family and friends around and what better time than summer to have a good get together and have some fun outside.
Coffee mornings are all well and good if you can tolerate caffeine. I have to have decaf, as coffee generally triggers my migraines. And obviously, the kids don’t have it, so we want something that can be enjoyed by the whole family. We have ditched the caffeine for some time now thanks to these caffeine-free Barleycup drinks.
Barleycup is an instant drink that is made of barley, rye and chicory. It is not a de-caffeinated drink, where some caffeine still remains – Barleycup is totally caffeine-free! It contains no artificial additives and no added sugars. Don’t be fooled though as it isn’t merely just a hot drink! I have been using it in many ways. I recently put a little spread on using Barleycup in a variety of ways. I made a delicious Barleycup mocha cake using one of the fabulous Mary Berry recipes. I simply substituted the coffee for Barleycup and it tasted amazing!
A mixture of cappuccino’s, frappuccino’s and iced Barleycup meant there was a little something for everyone.
Jayden gave the iced Barleycup drink a try – I think it went down a treat with just how hot it was outside!
Barleycup certainly is a family friendly drink to be enjoyed by all. It’s a healthy staple in our cupboard, which we use all year round.
Available in a variety of flavours in 100g and 200g jars. You can pop by here to find out where to buy.
Have you tried Barleycup?

Although I’m not a coffee fan, it’s always good to know that there is caffeine-free options out there for anyone who needs it! It’s lovely that there is lots of different options too for the whole family as I know a lot of children (for obvious reasons!) Don’t drink coffee, but it looks like Jayden loved it!

I had never heard of barley cup before but have been thinking I need to cut back on my tea consumption so barley cup sounds like a good alternative.
I haven’t heard of Barley Cup before, I am a tea drinker, never cared for coffee so it looks like something I should check out. I am always looking for a way to cut back on caffeine.
What an interesting sounding drink – not one I’ve heard of before! I like that it’s caffine free, so it can be enjoyed all day long 🙂
This sounds like a great drink. I like that it hasnt got any caffeine in it which is great for those who love the taste of coffee but not the caffeine it provides.
I have heard of Barley Cup but not got around to trying it yet. I would love to try the cappuccino flavour. I will have to look out for it next time I go shopping.
I’ve never had Barleycup before but they do look like they make some pretty delicious drinks. I will have to check out where I can find them.
Never heard of Barleycup before but it sounds like a wonderful drink for Summer. I need to check it out!
I haven’t heard of Barleycup before but it sounds like it has plenty of uses….
That cake looks delicious! #MMBC
I like to mix up my coffee, sometimes haveing caffeinated and sometimes decaf. Never heard of our tried this before, I’ll keep a look out for it in the shop as we are almost out of coffee!!xx
Ohhh nice! I like barley. I actually drink barley grass with milk and chia seeds. It’s like my power breakfast. 😀 But this is new and I would like to try it if given the chance 😀
I had not heard of Barleycup before. I love the idea of having it iced!
