Equipment

  • Teaspoon, Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon organic chia seeds
  • 3 cups filtered water
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • Juice of 1 fresh lemon
  • 1 teaspoon raw honey

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

  • Start by measuring out all the ingredients. It helps to have everything ready to go. A well-organized kitchen makes the cooking process smoother—trust me on this one!

Step 2: Mix Chia Seeds and Water

  • In a medium-sized bowl or pitcher, combine the chia seeds with the water. Stir gently to mix. Let the seeds sit in the water for about 10–15 minutes. This waiting period is crucial, as it gives the chia seeds time to absorb water and expand.

Step 3: Add Flavorings

  • Once the chia seeds have expanded, it's time to add some flavor. Squeeze the juice of one fresh lemon into the mixture. This not only enhances the taste but also adds a dose of vitamin C.

Step 4: Sweeten It Up

  • Stir in one teaspoon of raw honey. Honey adds natural sweetness and has its own health benefits. If you're not a fan of honey, feel free to adjust the sweetener according to your taste.

Step 5: Serve

  • Give your mixture one last stir. Pour the chia seed water into glasses, or store it in the fridge for later. Enjoy chilled for the best refreshment!

Notes

Let it Sit: Allow the chia seeds to soak long enough to form a gel-like texture. This makes the drink more enjoyable.
Experiment with Flavors: Don't hesitate to try other flavor combinations, such as lime instead of lemon, or adding fresh fruits.
Use Cold Water: I recommend using cold or chilled water for a refreshing drink, especially in warm weather.
Strain if Desired: If the texture isn’t your thing, you can strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve after soaking.
Prep Ahead: You can prepare this drink in advance. Just store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
