Avocado Pit Elixir
Ingredients
1 avocado pit (cleaned and dried)
2 cups water
1 teaspoon honey (optional)
½ teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
1 small piece cinnamon stick (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Avocado Pit
Remove the pit from a fresh avocado.
Wash it thoroughly to remove any leftover fruit.
Pat dry with a towel.
Optional but recommended:
Let the pit air-dry for 24 hours for easier grating and better flavor.
Grate the Pit
Cut the pit into halves using a strong, sharp knife.
Use a grater to shave the pit into thin flakes or powder.
The color will turn light orange as it oxidizes—this is normal.
Boil the Elixir
Add 2 cups water to a small pot.
Add 1 tablespoon grated avocado pit.
Add optional flavorings:
Small cinnamon stick
Lemon
Honey
Bring to a boil and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Strain into a cup.
Drink
Enjoy warm as a tea, or let it cool and drink as a detox beverage.
Tips for Best Results
Use a fresh avocado for a nutrient-rich pit.
Drying overnight makes grating much easier.
For stronger tea, simmer for 12–15 minutes.
Add honey or cinnamon to balance the natural bitterness.
Drink once daily, 3–4 times a week.
