Description
Okra water is a simple, soothing drink made by soaking fresh okra pods in water overnight. It's a gentle gut tonic, rich in mucilage that supports digestion, hydration, and blood sugar balance. With a splash of lemon or coconut water, it becomes a refreshing, nutrient-packed morning beverage.

- Add the okra to a large glass or jar and fill with cold water or coconut water.
- Cover and place in the fridge overnight (or for at least 6–8 hours).
- In the morning, strain the water through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
- Add lemon juice to taste. Serve chilled.
Notes:
- Best consumed in the morning on an empty stomach for maximum benefits.
- Helps soothe the digestive tract and may support blood sugar regulation.
- Can be made daily or in batches for 2–3 days.
