How to Make Avocado Leaf Tea:
This recipe is as simple as it gets, with just a few steps from leaf to cup.
Step 1: Prepare the Leaves
First, make sure the avocado leaves are clean and free from any chemicals. If you have access to an avocado tree, select healthy, green leaves. Wash them thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or impurities.
Step 2: Boil the Leaves
Bring one liter of water to a boil in a large pot. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and add the avocado leaves. Let them simmer gently for about 10 minutes. This allows the essence and flavors of the leaves to infuse the water.
Step 3: Steep and Strain
After simmering, remove the pot from heat and let the tea steep for an additional 5 minutes. This extra time helps deepen the flavors. Strain the tea to remove the leaves and pour the brewed tea into your favorite cup.
Step 4: Customize Your Tea
Enhance your tea by adding a slice of lemon for a citrusy twist or sweeten it with honey to taste. Both add a pleasant dimension to the naturally mild flavor of the avocado leaf tea.
