Let’s break it down:
🌰💧 Boiled Walnut Water (Walnut Tea)
🔸 How to Make It:
Ingredients:
-
5–6 whole walnuts (in shell or shelled)
-
2–3 cups water
-
Optional: cinnamon stick, honey, or lemon for flavor
Instructions:
-
Rinse walnuts thoroughly.
-
If using in-shell walnuts, crack them slightly to expose the inner nut (you can boil with the shell for added minerals).
-
Boil the walnuts in water for about 15–20 minutes.
-
Let it steep for 10 minutes, then strain and drink warm.
-
Optional: Add honey or lemon for taste.
🩺 Purported Health Benefits:
While scientific research on boiled walnut water specifically is limited, walnuts themselves are:
-
High in omega-3 fatty acids
-
Packed with antioxidants
-
Good for brain, heart, and joint health
-
May aid in sleep due to natural melatonin
-
Thought to reduce inflammation
Drinking the water is believed to extract some of these nutrients, though likely in smaller amounts than eating whole walnuts.
⚠️ Notes:
-
There are no known dangers in drinking walnut water in moderation, but always consult your doctor if you’re on medication or have nut allergies.
-
Drinking this alone won’t lead to dramatic health changes — it’s best used as part of an overall balanced lifestyle.
