Avocado Seed Tea Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 avocado seed
• 3-4 cups of water
• Honey or sweetener (optional)
• Lemon or other flavorings (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Avocado Seed:
   • Thoroughly wash the avocado seed to remove any remnants of the fruit. Using a knife, carefully cut the seed into smaller pieces or grate it. You can also use a food processor or blender to pulverize it into a fine powder.
2. Boil the Water:
   • In a pot, bring 3 to 4 cups of water to a boil.
3. Steeping the Avocado Seed:
   • Once the water reaches a boil, add the powdered or grated avocado seed to the pot.
   • Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the mixture steep for about 10-15 minutes. This helps release the nutrients from the seed into the water.
4. Strain the Tea:
   • After steeping, remove the pot from the heat. Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the tea into a cup or teapot. This will separate the liquid from the seed particles.
5. Add Flavor (Optional):
   • If desired, add a natural sweetener like honey or any preferred flavorings such as lemon or herbs to enhance the taste.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Pour the avocado seed tea into a cup and enjoy it while it’s warm.
7. Storage:
   • Any leftover tea can be stored in the refrigerator for a day or two. Reheat before drinking if you prefer it warm.

     3. Baking:
