Robinson's Orange Barley Water and British Food from My scottish Pantry

Aahh, thoughts of summer days at Wimbledon, the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club which as we all know are sticklers for tradition. As it always is, the Wimbledon Championships are played on grass, the competitors are be clad (mostly) in white, and as a;ways, the players slake their thirsts with Robinsons Orange barley water - the drink that is as much a part of the British summer as mulled wine is of Christmas.

Product History: Robinsons' has a lengthy association with health and fitness. When Robinson and Belville launched its Patent Barley in 1823, it was sold as a powder, which, when mixed into water, was taken to combat fevers and kidney complaints. Its link with tennis dates from 1934, when Eric Smedley Hodgson, one of the company's medical reps, took it upon himself to visit Wimbledon and make up a refreshing drink for the players from water, barley, Orange juice and sugar.
The first bottled Orange barley was produced the next year to a similar recipe - followed by lime in 1937, orange in 1939, and rhubarb in 1942.
