Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 to 2 cups cold water Adjust to taste
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon or lime juice Adjust to taste
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup Optional for sweetness
  • 1 pinch sea salt Optional but recommended

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Add chia seeds to a large glass or jar.
  • Pour in the cold water and stir well for 20 to 30 seconds to prevent the seeds from clumping.
  • Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes, then stir again to allow the seeds to swell and become bouncy.

Final Adjustments

  • Add citrus juice, optional sweetener, and salt. Stir, taste, and adjust if necessary.
  • Chill with ice or store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking.

Notes

For perfect texture, use a jar with a lid to shake if needed. Adjust chia to water ratio for thicker or lighter texture. Explore different flavor combinations for variety.
