Rinse and drain the barley. In a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting cover, combine all the ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until the barley has expanded and become tender, 25-35 minutes. Remove the barley from the heat and let it sit 10 minutes, covered. Fluff with a fork before serving.
