Ingredients
Scale
Fruits and Sweeteners
- 3–4 fresh raspberries
- 1/2 fresh lemon, juiced
- 1 tsp raw honey
Seeds and Liquids
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 1/2 cup cool filtered water
Instructions
- Add Raspberries, Honey, and Lemon Juice: Add 3-4 fresh raspberries, 1 teaspoon of raw honey, and the juice of 1/2 a fresh lemon into a jar. Thoroughly mash the raspberries into the honey and lemon juice to release their flavors and mix well.
- Mix Chia Seeds with Water: Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds and 1 1/2 cups of cool filtered water to the jar. Stir vigorously to ensure the chia seeds are well distributed and start absorbing the water. Let the mixture rest for about 1 minute.
- Stir Again to Prevent Clumps: After the initial rest, stir the mixture again to break up any chia seed clumps formed at the bottom of the jar. Repeat the resting and stirring process one more time, which helps in forming a gel around the chia seeds and keeps the drink smooth.
- Store and Chill: Cover the jar with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate overnight. Chilling allows the chia seeds to fully hydrate and the flavors to meld, maximizing the drink’s digestive benefits. Enjoy the chilled chia seed water the next day.
Notes
- Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and nutritional benefits.
- If you prefer a less sweet drink, adjust the honey quantity or omit it altogether.
- Stir the chia seed mixture thoroughly before refrigerating to avoid clumping.
- Consume the chia seed water within 1-2 days for optimal freshness.
- Chia seeds absorb liquid and expand; drink immediately if you want a lighter texture or after soaking for a thicker gel-like consistency.
