Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 cups water
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 lemon (half juiced, half sliced)
Instructions
- Prepare Lemon: Juice half of the lemon to obtain about 1 ½ tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, then slice the other half into thin rounds for garnish and enhanced flavor infusion.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or any drinking jar, pour the 3 cups of water, add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, the freshly squeezed lemon juice, and the lemon slices.
- Mix and Soak: Secure the lid on the jar if it has one, and shake thoroughly to blend all the ingredients. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid and develop a gel-like texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: After 15 minutes of soaking, stir or shake well before drinking to redistribute the chia seeds, and enjoy your refreshing and nutrient-rich chia seed water.
Notes
- Shake or stir the drink before each sip since the chia seeds tend to settle at the bottom.
- Using a glass straw can help stir the drink easily between sips and enhances the drinking experience.
