Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- 1 medium Lemon
- 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
- 6 pieces Ice Cubes
Directions
Step 1
Pour 2 cups of water into a medium-sized pitcher or jar.
Step 2
Slice the medium lemon in half. Squeeze the juice from both halves into the water, being careful to remove any seeds.
Step 3
Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds to the lemon water.
Step 4
If desired, add 1 teaspoon of honey to the mixture to sweeten. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved.
Step 5
Allow the chia seeds to soak for about 10 minutes. This allows them to absorb water and form a gel-like consistency, which enhances the texture of the drink.
Step 6
Fill two glasses with 3 ice cubes each.
Step 7
Stir the chia seed lemon water once more and pour it evenly into the two prepared glasses.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing, nutritious drink!
