Ingredients
- 1 large Orange
- 1 medium Lemon
- 1 medium Lime
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon Flaxseeds
- 1 liter Cold water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the orange, lemon, and lime thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 2
Slice the orange, lemon, and lime into thin rounds, removing any seeds you come across. You can also halve the slices if you prefer smaller pieces in your drink.
Step 3
In a large pitcher, add the slices of citrus fruits, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Add the chia seeds to the pitcher. Stir gently with a spoon to mix the seeds with the citrus fruits.
Step 5
Add the flaxseeds to the pitcher. These will settle at the bottom, so make sure to stir the mixture well.
Step 6
Pour one liter of cold water over the fruit and seeds mixture. Stir the ingredients well to ensure everything is properly combined.
Step 7
Add the ice cubes to the pitcher to keep the water refreshingly cold.
Step 8
If you're using them, lightly bruise the mint leaves by clapping them between your palms to release their aroma, then add them to the pitcher.
Step 9
Cover the pitcher with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together and the seeds to thicken the water slightly.
Step 10
Before serving, give the infused water a gentle stir to mix the ingredients. Pour into glasses and enjoy this refreshing and nutritious drink.
