When our ancestors suffered of an irritable stomach, they would add a few drops of lime or lemon juice to some water, mixed it with milk in equal amounts and then took the mixture by the tablespoon through the day, as needed.
Didn't feel well (malaise) and didn't know why? Took a handful of barley and washed it in cold water changing the water several times; at the end left 4 cups of water and allowed this to boil until the water had reduced to 2 cups, added lemon rind and sugar for flavor and ate it without straining.
Without energy and looking forward to a long and hard day? Took a handful of oats and mixed with two quarts of cold water; allowed it to stand for 30 minutes and drank it through the day - as needed. This very much sounds like Orchata, doesn't it? All we have to do is blend it, add sugar and maybe cinnamon or vanilla.
