Ingredients

- 2 Cups Water

- 1 Tbsp Honey maple syrup
- A pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chia SeedsIn a small bowl, add the chia seeds and cover them with 1/4 cup of water. Let them soak for about 10-15 minutes until they form a gel-like consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent clumping.
- Mix the BaseIn a large glass or pitcher, combine the remaining water with the lime juice. Stir in the honey or maple syrup until fully dissolved. If you're using sea salt, add a pinch at this stage.
- Combine EverythingOnce the chia seeds have fully absorbed the water and formed a gel, add them to the lime mixture. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Chill and ServeRefrigerate the Chia Fresca for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve over ice, and enjoy this hydrating, nutrient-rich drink.
