Preparing a pumpkin seed infusion is an interesting way to take advantage of the possible benefits that these seeds can offer. Here is a simple recipe to make it:

Ingredients:

Pumpkin seeds (preferably organic and unsalted)

Hot water (just before boiling)

Steps:

Seed collection:

Extract the seeds from a fresh pumpkin. You can do this by using a spoon to scrape them from the inside of the pumpkin. Make sure to remove any remaining pulp or fiber.

Washing and drying:

Wash the seeds well to remove any pulp residue.

Then dry them completely. You can do this by spreading them on a towel or kitchen paper and leaving them in the air for several hours.

Optional roasting (this step is optional but can improve the flavor):

Heat a frying pan over medium heat and toast the seeds until lightly golden. This can enhance the flavor and texture.

Preparation of the infusion:

Put a tablespoon of toasted pumpkin seeds (approximately) in a cup.

Pouring hot water:

Fill the cup with hot water, just before it starts to boil.

Infusion:

Let the seeds soak in the hot water for about 10-15 minutes.

Cast:

Use a strainer or infuser to remove the seeds from the liquid. You can lightly press the seeds with a spoon to extract any potential beneficial compounds.

Optional sweetening:

If you wish, you can sweeten the infusion with honey, sugar or some other sweetener of your choice.

Consumption:

Drink the infusion while it is hot.

This pumpkin seed infusion can have a pleasant, mild flavor, with a subtle nuttiness. Additionally, it could provide nutrients such as zinc, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids and other compounds beneficial to health. However, it is important to remember that if you have any medical condition or allergies, it is advisable to consult with a health professional before incorporating new infusions or foods into your diet.
