Instructions
-
Rinse and cut avocado seeds in quarters with a sharp knife. Be careful not to cut yourself as the seed can be a bit slippery
-
Place the avocado seed quarters in a pot of boiling water. We recommend about a cup of water per seed. Let the seeds boil for 10 min. The liquid will turn brownish red. Strain the liquid through a sieve to remove the seeds from the infused water.
-
Pour the tea into cups and add your favorite sweetener. Honey and a dash a lime is a perfect add-on to this somewhat bitter drink. Drink hot or cold!
