Ingredients are subject to availability at local stores. Unavailable items will be automatically substituted at best-effort.

Instructions

Wash and prepare: Thoroughly wash 1 small beetroot and 4-5 okra pods. Peel the beetroot and slice into thin rounds. Trim the okra ends and slice each pod into ½-inch pieces. No need to peel okra.

Combine in jar: Place the sliced beetroot and okra in a clean 1-quart glass jar or pitcher. If using lemon, add 2-3 thin slices. Optional: add a few mint leaves for freshness.

Add water and infuse: Pour 4 cups of filtered or tap water over the vegetables. Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight. The longer it infuses, the more vibrant the color and nutrients.

Strain and enjoy: Strain the water into a glass, discarding the vegetables (or composting them). Drink 1-2 glasses daily. The infusion keeps refrigerated for up to 3 days. Refill with water for a second, milder infusion if desired.

A beautiful, skin-loving infusion that turns ordinary water into a nutrient-rich drink.

This EBT-friendly beetroot-okra water is a simple yet powerful skincare secret. Beetroot is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that can help reduce blemishes and promote clear skin, while okra’s mucilage provides hydration and essential vitamins. Drinking this regularly can help improve skin texture and glow from the inside out.
