How to Make Okra Water: Step-by-Step Guide
Making okra water is simple and requires only a few ingredients and tools. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Ingredients:
- 4 to 5 fresh okra pods
- 1 glass (8-10 ounces) of water
- Lemon (optional for flavor)
Instructions:
Step 1: Wash the Okra Pods
Thoroughly rinse the okra pods under running water to remove any dirt or pesticides.
Step 2: Cut the Okra
Using a sharp knife, cut off both ends of each pod. Then, slice the pods into small pieces or split them lengthwise to expose the inner mucilage.
Step 3: Soak the Okra
Place the chopped okra pieces into a glass of water. Let it soak overnight (at least 8-12 hours) at room temperature.
Step 4: Stir and Strain
In the morning, stir the mixture gently and strain out the okra pieces, keeping only the infused water.
Step 5: Optional Flavoring
For added taste, squeeze a few drops of lemon juice into the water. This also enhances the detoxifying properties of the drink.
Step 6: Drink and Enjoy
Consume the okra water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach for optimal benefits.
