Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 1 whole orange
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 whole lime
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon flaxseeds
- 10 leaves mint leaves
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
Begin by thoroughly washing the orange, lemon, and lime to ensure they are clean.
Slice the orange, lemon, and lime into thin rounds. Try to remove any seeds to prevent bitterness.
In a large pitcher, add the 4 cups of water.
Add the sliced citrus fruits to the pitcher, ensuring they are submerged within the water.
Add the chia seeds and flaxseeds into the water, stirring well to combine. The seeds may initially float but will gradually absorb water and sink.
Add the fresh mint leaves to the pitcher for an additional burst of freshness.
Refrigerate the water for at least 1-2 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to fully infuse and the seeds to swell.
Just before serving, add the ice cubes to the pitcher to keep the drink chilled.
Stir well before pouring the infused water into glasses. Ensure that each serving gets some of the citrus fruits, seeds, and mint leaves.
Serve immediately for best flavor and enjoy a refreshing, nutrient-packed drink!
