Place the chopped pieces into a clean, airtight jar and fill the jar with water, leaving some space at the top.
Close the jar tightly with its lid and shake it gently to ensure that the pieces are well mixed with the water.
Let the okra soak in the water overnight or for at least 8 hours.
In the morning, strain the okra water into a glass or container, discarding the okra pieces.
