Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon Flaxseeds
- 1 large Lemon
- 1 large Lime
- 1 small Orange
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Pour 4 cups of water into a large pitcher or jar.
Add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds and 1 tablespoon of flaxseeds to the water. Stir well and let sit for at least 5 minutes to allow seeds to start absorbing water.
While waiting, wash and thoroughly dry the lemon, lime, and orange. Slice them thinly and discard any seeds you come across.
Add the citrus slices to the water in the pitcher, stirring gently to combine the flavors.
Rinse 10 fresh mint leaves under cold water, pat them dry, and then slightly bruise them by gently bashing them with the back of a spoon. Add the mint leaves into the pitcher.
Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the mixture to chill the infusion quickly.
Cover the pitcher and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and ensure the seeds swell properly, forming a gel-like consistency.
Stir the infused water right before serving and pour it into glasses, making sure to distribute the seeds evenly.
Garnish each serving with an extra slice of citrus or a mint leaf for an additional touch of freshness, if desired.
