Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cold water
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup, to taste
- Pinch of salt
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- In a glass or jar, combine the water and chia seeds. Stir well to prevent clumping.
- Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps.
- Add the lime juice, sweetener, and salt. Stir until the sweetener is dissolved.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or lime juice as desired.
- Add ice cubes if using, and stir once more. Let sit for another 2-3 minutes to allow chia seeds to gel slightly, then serve.
Tips
- For best texture, let the chia seeds soak for at least 10-15 minutes before drinking.
- You can add other flavors like mint, cucumber, or fruit juice for variation.
- Stir occasionally while drinking to keep the chia seeds suspended.
