1

Pick over and winnow the barley thoroughly to clean it of any chaff or debris.

2

Depending on the type of barley, you may need to lightly pound it in a mortar to loosen the outer layer, then let it dry well in the sun.

3

After it's fully sun-dried, quickly dip it in boiling water and immediately remove it. Then, pound it in a mortar, being careful not to grind it into flour, to remove the outer husk.

4

Place the pounded barley into a deep bowl, press it down firmly, and cover it tightly to rest overnight.

5

The next day, spread the barley out in the sun to dry completely.

6

Heat a traditional kolo pan (or a heavy, dry skillet). Roast the barley in small batches, blowing away the chaff as you stir, until it is evenly golden brown.

7

After roasting, lightly pound the kolo in a mortar one last time to separate any remaining husks, then serve.
