Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 5 leaves mint leaves
- 3 cubes ice cubes
- 1 cup cold water
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds with 1 cup of water. Stir well to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed in the water.
Allow the chia seeds to sit and hydrate for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping. They will form a gel-like consistency as they absorb the water.
While the chia seeds are hydrating, squeeze fresh lemon juice into a separate glass.
Add honey to the lemon juice, stirring until completely dissolved.
In a serving pitcher, combine the hydrated chia seed gel, sweetened lemon juice, mint leaves, and a cup of cold water. Stir well to combine.
Add ice cubes to the pitcher to chill the drink and enhance its refreshing quality.
Serve immediately, pouring into glasses. Optionally, garnish each glass with a fresh mint leaf for extra aroma.
Enjoy your revitalizing Chia Seed Drink as a delightful way to stay hydrated and healthy!
