In the olden days when I lived in the South Carolina low country we used to start with a 55 gallon drum filled with fresh okra, add water to cover and set it on a live oak (cypress can be substituted for live oak) fire to boil. Boil until the water's gone then add more water to cover. Spin rinse and repeat for six days, then strain out the okra and discard. Use the water to kill the mosquitoes.
