Chop the Seeds: Use a blender or food processor to coarsely chop the pumpkin seeds. You want a chunky texture to help release the active compounds, but avoid grinding them into a fine powder.
Boil the Water: Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small pot.
Simmer the Seeds: Add the chopped pumpkin seeds to the boiling water. Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer gently for 20 minutes.
Cool and Strain: Let the mixture cool slightly. Strain out the solid pieces using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth, keeping the greenish liquid.
Sweeten if Needed: Add a bit of honey if the flavor is too bitter. This step is optional but can make the drink more pleasant to consume.
