Purple Barley drink

Nostalgic childhood drink make from pearl barley & a purple colour plant called Moses in a boat or Moses in the cradle.
My mum used to make this during hot weather.
We would pluck the leaves from the potted plants outside the house.
And I would be amazed how the purple leaves can turn the water into a nice purple tinge.
You can add a special purple cane too to achieve a more intense purple colour but I could not find it today.
I called it purple drink.
