Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Aquafina water
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Flaxseeds
- 0.5 Lime
- 0.5 Lemon
Instructions
Start by pouring the 500 ml of Aquafina water into a medium-sized jug or a large drinking glass.
Add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds to the water. Stir well with a spoon until the seeds are evenly distributed. The seeds might initially float atop but will settle and start absorbing water.
Next, add 2 tablespoons of flaxseeds to the mix. Stir thoroughly again to ensure even distribution.
Cut half a lime and half a lemon into thin slices or wedges. Squeeze them slightly to release the juices as you drop them into the water.
Give the mixture a good stir and let it sit for at least 5-10 minutes. This allows the chia seeds to swell and the citrus flavors to infuse the water.
Stir one last time before serving to redistribute the seeds and citrus slices.
Serve the drink immediately or keep it refrigerated for up to 24 hours for a more intense flavor.
