Chia Seeds come from the Salvia Hispanica plant grown in Mexico and South America
It is a favourite traditional drink enjoyed in Mexico and Central America, in which the seeds
are mixed into lime or lemon juice with added sweetener.
Ingredients
• 250ml water or coconut water
• 1 – 1.5 tbsp chia seeds
• 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice, or to taste
• Sweetener, to taste (I like 1/2 tbsp maple syrup, stevia, agave nectar)
Tips Leave for 30 minutes / few hours / overnight
Chia Seeds soften and absorb fluid
I add a splash of ACV (apple cider vinegar) to mine
