Ingredients
- 1000 ml Water
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 whole Orange
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon Flaxseeds
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 6 cubes Ice cubes
Instructions
1. Start by preparing the citrus fruits. Wash the lemon and orange thoroughly under running water to remove any wax or dirt.
2. Slice the lemon and orange into thin, even rounds. Remove any seeds you come across as they can add unwanted bitterness to the water.
3. In a large pitcher, pour 1000 ml of cold water.
4. Add the sliced lemon and orange to the pitcher of water.
5. Stir in 2 tablespoons of chia seeds. Chia seeds will absorb water and expand, giving a fun texture to the drink.
6. Add 1 tablespoon of flaxseeds. Flaxseeds will add a slight nutty flavor and additional nutrients.
7. Slightly crush 5 fresh mint leaves to release their oils and add them to the pitcher for an additional layer of flavor.
8. Stir the mixture well to ensure the chia and flaxseeds are distributed evenly.
9. Allow the water to infuse for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator for the flavors to meld.
10. Before serving, give the water a gentle stir to redistribute the seeds and flavors.
11. Fill glasses with ice cubes, and pour the infused water over the ice.
12. Serve immediately for a refreshing and hydrating beverage.
