Blood sugar drops instantly with this red onion recipe! A true culinary treasure that few know about!
👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Slice the Onion: Peel the outer papery layers off your red onion. Slice it cleanly in half to match the presentation in , then finely dice or thinly slice the halves to maximize the surface area.
- Soak and Infuse: Place the diced red onion into a clean glass jar or pitcher. Pour the 2 cups of filtered water directly over the onions, ensuring they are completely submerged.
- Add the Flavor Mellowers: Squeeze the juice of 1/2 a fresh lemon into the water and add a tiny pinch of pink salt. This prevents the drink from being overwhelmingly pungent while keeping it completely sugar-free.
- Chill and Steep: Seal the jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator. Let it steep for at least 4 to 6 hours (overnight is even better). As it sits, the water will draw out the active water-soluble compounds from the onion tissues.
- Strain and Serve: Pour the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass, discarding the solid onion pieces (or saving them to cook with dinner!). Serve the infused water cold.
