Agua de Limon con Chia
This is basically limeade with chia seeds that get all gelatinous when they soak. The texture throws some people off at first - like tiny tapioca pearls floating around. But once you get past that, it's one of the most refreshing drinks you can make on a hot day.
Ingredients
- 7 limes plus extra for garnish
- 5 cups filtered water room temperature
- 6 tbsp honey
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Juice 7 limes, straining out pulp and seeds to get 1/2 cup juice.
- Mix lime juice, water, and honey in a pitcher. Stir until honey dissolves completely.
- Gradually sprinkle chia seeds into liquid, stirring constantly to prevent clumping.
- Let mixture sit for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes until seeds gel and expand.
- Serve over ice, garnish with lime wedge. Stir before pouring to distribute seeds.
Notes
Chia seeds create a unique gel-like texture that may surprise first-time drinkers.
