Ingredients
- 6 oz okra pods ((175g))
- 10 cups water
Method
- Wash the okra pods in cold water (you can use a colander to do this) to get rid of any dirt or debris.
- Put the okra pods on a chopping board and proceed to chop them to expose the mucilage.
- Place the chopped okra in a large jug or pitcher.
- Pour the filtered water into the jug/pitcher with the okra.
- Refrigerate and allow the okra to soak in the water for atleast 8 hours or preferably overnight.
- When you are ready to use the water, strain off the okra water (this is optional as you can leave the okra pieces in the water) and then serve accordingly.
