Ingredients

• 1 medium Fresh orange
• 1 small Fresh lime
• 1 small Fresh lemon
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon Flaxseeds
• 6 cups Filtered water
• 1 cup Ice cubes
• 5 leaves Mint leaves (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the orange, lime, and lemon thoroughly under cool running water to remove any wax or residues on the skin.

Step 2

Slice the orange, lime, and lemon into thin rounds. Remove any seeds that may be present.

Step 3

Add the chia seeds and flaxseeds to a medium-sized pitcher.

Step 4

Pour half a cup of filtered water into the pitcher with the seeds and stir well. Allow them to soak while you prepare the remaining ingredients. This helps the seeds become gelatinous and blend well into the water.

Step 5

Once the seeds have soaked for about 5 minutes and started to form a gel-like consistency, add the lime, lemon, and orange slices to the pitcher.

Step 6

Pour the remaining filtered water into the pitcher, stirring gently to combine all ingredients.

Step 7

Add the ice cubes to the pitcher for an immediate cooling effect.

Step 8

If desired, slightly bruise the mint leaves with the back of a spoon to release their essential oils and add them to the pitcher.

Step 9

Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the water to thoroughly infuse.

Step 10

Stir the infused water before serving, and pour into glasses with some of the fruit slices for an attractive presentation.
