Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 cups water
- 5 leaves mint leaves
- 5 slices cucumber slices
- 4 cubes ice cubes
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl or jar, combine 2 tablespoons of chia seeds with 2 cups of water.
Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed in the water.
Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent the seeds from clumping together.
Let the chia seed mixture sit for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the seeds to expand and gelatinize, or until they achieve the desired consistency.
Once the chia seeds are ready, add 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice to the mixture and stir well.
Prepare the serving glasses by placing 5 mint leaves and 5 cucumber slices in each glass.
Add 2 ice cubes to each glass, followed by pouring the chia seed and lime mixture evenly into the two glasses.
Stir the drink gently to mix the flavors and enjoy immediately.
