Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 2-3 tsp Chia seeds, white ones preferrably
  • 1 tbsp Manuka honey, rice syrup or maple syrup (optional)
  • 3 cups Filtered or sparkling water
  • Lemon slices as garnish (optional)
  • Fresh herbs like mint, lemon balm or sweet basil (optional)
  • Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a large jug or pitcher, add in lemon juice, chia seeds and sweetener of choice (if using), then pour in 3 cups of water.
  • Stir well with a long spoon or metal straw
  • Add sliced lemon and fresh herbs and stir again
  • Stir regularly for around 5-10minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb some water before drinking.
  • Add ice cubes if desired.
    Before serving stir really well, pour straight away into 2 large glasses, serve with a metal straw or spoon to enable stirring. The chia seeds tend to settle at the bottom.
    Enjoy!

Notes

Note// make sure to stir well as chia seeds tend to settle at the bottom of the glass.
You could use lime instead of lemon if you prefer.
