Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 4 leaves Mint leaves
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chia seeds with 2 cups of water. Stir well to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed.
Allow the chia seeds to soak in the water for about 10 minutes or until they form a gel-like consistency.
In the meantime, juice the lemons and limes to obtain the fresh citrus juice.
Once the chia seeds have thickened, add the fresh lemon and lime juice to the mixture.
Add the honey to the chia seed mixture and stir well until the honey is fully dissolved.
Crush 4 mint leaves gently to release their essential oils and add them to the mixture.
Prepare serving glasses by adding equal portions of ice cubes to each.
Pour the chia seed drink over the ice cubes in the glasses.
Garnish with additional mint leaves, if desired, before serving.
Stir well before drinking to make sure the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the beverage.
