Why You Should Eat 2 Fig Leaves a Day

Ingredients:

• 2 fresh fig leaves (washed thoroughly)
• 1 cup coconut water (or water)
• 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 small cucumber (sliced)
• 1 apple (cored and chopped)
• A handful of fresh mint leaves
• A pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fig Leaves: Blanch the fig leaves by dipping them in boiling water for about 1 minute, then transfer them to cold water to cool. This process softens the leaves and removes any bitterness.
2. Blend: In a blender, combine the fig leaves, coconut water, honey (if using), lemon juice, cucumber, apple, and mint leaves. Blend until smooth.
3. Strain (Optional): If you prefer a smoother drink, strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. If you enjoy more texture, leave it as is.
4. Add Cinnamon: If you’d like a hint of spice, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon into the drink and stir.
5. Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy your refreshing, nutrient-packed drink!
