Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- 1 medium Lemon
- 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
- 6 pieces Ice Cubes
Instructions
Pour 2 cups of water into a medium-sized pitcher or jar.
Slice the medium lemon in half. Squeeze the juice from both halves into the water, being careful to remove any seeds.
Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds to the lemon water.
If desired, add 1 teaspoon of honey to the mixture to sweeten. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved.
Allow the chia seeds to soak for about 10 minutes. This allows them to absorb water and form a gel-like consistency, which enhances the texture of the drink.
Fill two glasses with 3 ice cubes each.
Stir the chia seed lemon water once more and pour it evenly into the two prepared glasses.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing, nutritious drink!
