Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh okra (preferably young and tender), sliced

4 cups water

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

1 tablespoon chia seeds

ΒΌ cup fruit-flavored jelly (such as grape, raspberry, or strawberry)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Okra Water:

    - In a saucepan, combine the sliced okra and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.

      - Once boiled, reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes. The water should turn slightly viscous and acquire a green color.

        - Remove from heat, then strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl or pitcher, discarding the okra slices. Allow the okra water to cool completely.

          Add Sweetness:

            - Once the okra water has cooled, stir in honey (or agave syrup) and lemon juice. Mix well until fully dissolved.

              Prepare Chia Seeds:

                - In a small bowl, mix chia seeds with 2 tablespoons of water and let them sit for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the seeds to puff up and gel.

                  Combine the Ingredients:

                    - In a large glass or serving pitcher, add the prepared okra water, chia seeds, and fruit-flavored jelly. Gently stir the mixture to achieve a marbled effect without fully incorporating the jelly.

                      Serve It Up:

                        - Fill glasses with ice cubes (if you prefer) and pour the okra jelly fusion drink over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.

                          Enjoy:

                            - Stir before drinking to combine the flavors and enjoy this healthy, unique fusion drink that packs a nutritional punch with each sip!
