Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 5 leaves mint leaves
- 3 cubes ice cubes
- 1 cup cold water
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds with 1 cup of water. Stir well to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed in the water.
Step 2
Allow the chia seeds to sit and hydrate for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping. They will form a gel-like consistency as they absorb the water.
Step 3
While the chia seeds are hydrating, squeeze fresh lemon juice into a separate glass.
Step 4
Add honey to the lemon juice, stirring until completely dissolved.
Step 5
In a serving pitcher, combine the hydrated chia seed gel, sweetened lemon juice, mint leaves, and a cup of cold water. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Add ice cubes to the pitcher to chill the drink and enhance its refreshing quality.
Step 7
Serve immediately, pouring into glasses. Optionally, garnish each glass with a fresh mint leaf for extra aroma.
Step 8
Enjoy your revitalizing Chia Seed Drink as a delightful way to stay hydrated and healthy!
