Prepare the Okra: Wash the okra pods thoroughly, then slice them into small pieces. The slicing increases the surface area, allowing more of the beneficial properties to leach into the water.
Mash the Garlic: Peel and finely mince or crush one clove of garlic. Crushing garlic helps release allicin, its active compound, which is beneficial for blood pressure reduction.
Boil the Ingredients: In a pot, bring the liter of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the sliced okra and crushed garlic. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
Strain and Serve: After simmering, strain the mixture to remove the solids. You can add a squeeze of lemon juice or a teaspoon of honey to improve the taste if desired.
Consume: Drink this mixture throughout the day, ideally on an empty stomach in the morning to maximize absorption and effectiveness.
