Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon Flaxseeds
- 1 large Lemon
- 1 large Lime
- 1 small Orange
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Pour 4 cups of water into a large pitcher or jar.
Step 2
Add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds and 1 tablespoon of flaxseeds to the water. Stir well and let sit for at least 5 minutes to allow seeds to start absorbing water.
Step 3
While waiting, wash and thoroughly dry the lemon, lime, and orange. Slice them thinly and discard any seeds you come across.
Step 4
Add the citrus slices to the water in the pitcher, stirring gently to combine the flavors.
Step 5
Rinse 10 fresh mint leaves under cold water, pat them dry, and then slightly bruise them by gently bashing them with the back of a spoon. Add the mint leaves into the pitcher.
Step 6
Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the mixture to chill the infusion quickly.
Step 7
Cover the pitcher and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and ensure the seeds swell properly, forming a gel-like consistency.
Step 8
Stir the infused water right before serving and pour it into glasses, making sure to distribute the seeds evenly.
Step 9
Garnish each serving with an extra slice of citrus or a mint leaf for an additional touch of freshness, if desired.
