Ingredients
▢
4
limes
▢
1
Tbsp
chia seeds
▢
6
cups
water
(room temperature)
▢
4
Tbsp
brown sugar
(or ¼ cup agave syrup)
For serving
▢
ice cubes
(as needed)
▢
1
lime or lemon
(cut into slices)
▢
mint leaves
(optional)
Instructions
Place water in a large pitcher.
Squeeze the limes over a strainer into the pitcher.
Add sugar or agave syrup and mix until well dissolved.
Stir in the chia seeds slowly while whisking vigorously. Keep mixing for 2 minutes to allow the seeds to soak well.
Taste and adjust the flavor to your preference by adding more lime juice or sugar.
Fill glasses with ice and pour the agua de limón.
Garnish with lime or lemon slices and mint leaves. Enjoy.
Notes
Add chia slowly while whisking vigorously. This way the seeds have the time to soak separately and add a nice texture instead of becoming a mess.
Allow the drink to rest for at least 30 minutes. Preferably a couple of hours.
I always add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds for every 5-6 cups of water.
Use another kind of sweeteners if you prefer, like honey, stevia, monk fruit, etc.
