*Avocado Seed Tea*.

It’s made by steeping the pit from an avocado.

*Basic Recipe:*

*Ingredients:*

– *Avocado seed*: 1 pit, cleaned

– *Water*: 3-4 cups

– *Optional*: Honey, lemon, ginger for taste

*Instructions:*

1. *Clean and dry*: Rinse the seed to remove flesh. Let it air dry 2-3 days, or bake at 250°F for 2 hours until dry.

2. *Break it down*: The dried seed is hard. Chop it into smaller pieces or grate it. Be careful – it’s tough.

3. *Boil*: Add pieces to 3-4 cups water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer 15-20 min. The water will turn reddish-brown.

4. *Strain*: Pour through a strainer into a mug. Add honey or lemon if you want.

*Notes:*

Avocado seeds contain compounds like persin and tannins. There’s limited research on safety for regular consumption, and some sources advise caution, especially for pregnant people and those with kidney issues.

If you’re trying it for the first time, start with a small amount and see how you feel.
