Ingredients
- 8 cups Filtered water
- 1 medium Orange
- 1 medium Lemon
- 1 medium Lime
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Flaxseeds
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
1. Begin by washing the orange, lemon, and lime thoroughly under running water to remove any residues. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 2
2. Slice the orange, lemon, and lime into thin rounds. Remove any seeds from the slices to ensure a smooth infusion.
Step 3
3. In a large pitcher, combine the filtered water with the sliced citrus fruits: orange, lemon, and lime. Gently stir to incorporate the fruits throughout the water.
Step 4
4. Add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds to the pitcher. Chia seeds add a unique texture and nutritional benefits, so make sure to mix well.
Step 5
5. Follow by adding 2 tablespoons of flaxseeds into the mixture. Stir the seeds into the water to ensure even distribution.
Step 6
6. Tear the fresh mint leaves slightly to release their oils and enhance their flavor. Add these to the pitcher for a refreshing hint.
Step 7
7. Stir all the ingredients carefully to blend the flavors. Once mixed, seal the pitcher with a lid or cover and place it in the refrigerator.
Step 8
8. Allow the mixture to sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. This resting period enhances the flavors and lets the chia seeds form a gel-like texture.
Step 9
9. Before serving, give the infused water a gentle stir. Pour into glasses, ensuring each serving receives a mix of the citrus slices and seeds.
Step 10
10. Enjoy the Whole30-friendly citrus chia and flaxseed infused water as a refreshing, nutrient-rich beverage throughout the day.
