Ingredients:
1/4 cup of raisins (preferably organic)
1 cup of water
Optional: A pinch of cinnamon or cardamom for extra flavor
Instructions:
Rinse the Raisins: Start by washing the raisins thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides.
Soak the Raisins: Place the raisins in a bowl and pour one cup of water over them. Let them soak overnight or for at least 6-8 hours.
Drink the Water: In the morning, the raisins will have absorbed water and expanded. Drink the water on an empty stomach first thing in the morning.
Consume the Raisins: After drinking the water, consume the soaked raisins. They are now softer and easier to digest, packed with nutrients that benefit your body.
Tips for Serving and Storing:
Serving: For added flavor and health benefits, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom to the water before soaking. This will enhance the drink with antioxidants and an aromatic touch.
Storage: Soaked raisins can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days if you prefer to prepare them in advance. However, it’s best to consume them fresh for optimal benefits.
Serving Variants: You can mix the soaked raisins with a bit of honey or lime juice to give it an extra zing, especially if you're not fond of the natural flavor.
