Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
- 4 leaves mint leaves
- 4 cubes ice cubes
- 1 cup water (for dilution)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds and 1 cup of water. Stir well to prevent the seeds from clumping and let them soak for about 5-10 minutes or until they form a gel-like consistency.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a pitcher, mix the fresh lemon juice with honey or agave syrup until well combined.
Step 3
Add the soaked chia seeds to the lemon mixture in the pitcher, stirring gently to distribute the seeds evenly.
Step 4
Tear the mint leaves gently to release their aroma and add them to the pitcher.
Step 5
Add the ice cubes and the additional 1 cup of water to the pitcher. Stir everything together to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
Step 6
Let the drink sit for another minute to chill slightly, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Pour into glasses and serve immediately, garnishing with additional mint leaves or a slice of lemon if desired.
