Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Filtered water
- 1 medium Orange
- 1 medium Lemon
- 1 medium Lime
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Flaxseeds
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
1. Begin by washing the orange, lemon, and lime thoroughly under running water to remove any residues. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
2. Slice the orange, lemon, and lime into thin rounds. Remove any seeds from the slices to ensure a smooth infusion.
3. In a large pitcher, combine the filtered water with the sliced citrus fruits: orange, lemon, and lime. Gently stir to incorporate the fruits throughout the water.
4. Add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds to the pitcher. Chia seeds add a unique texture and nutritional benefits, so make sure to mix well.
5. Follow by adding 2 tablespoons of flaxseeds into the mixture. Stir the seeds into the water to ensure even distribution.
6. Tear the fresh mint leaves slightly to release their oils and enhance their flavor. Add these to the pitcher for a refreshing hint.
7. Stir all the ingredients carefully to blend the flavors. Once mixed, seal the pitcher with a lid or cover and place it in the refrigerator.
8. Allow the mixture to sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. This resting period enhances the flavors and lets the chia seeds form a gel-like texture.
9. Before serving, give the infused water a gentle stir. Pour into glasses, ensuring each serving receives a mix of the citrus slices and seeds.
10. Enjoy the Whole30-friendly citrus chia and flaxseed infused water as a refreshing, nutrient-rich beverage throughout the day.
