  • Total Time: 5
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 cups water (cold or room temperature)
  • 12 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about ½ lemon)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Juice half a lemon to get about 1½ tablespoons of lemon juice.
  2. In a mason jar or large glass, pour in 3–4 cups of water.
  3. Add 1–2 tablespoons of chia seeds to the water.
  4. Stir in the lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup, if using.
  5. Shake or stir well to mix the chia seeds evenly.
  6. Let the drink sit for at least 15 minutes (or refrigerate overnight) until the chia seeds swell into a gel-like texture.
  7. Stir or shake again before drinking to prevent seeds from settling.

Notes

  • Customize Flavor: Add orange or lime slices for a different citrus twist.
  • Vegan Option: Use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Overnight Prep: For the best texture, prepare chia water the night before.
  • Drink Cold: Chia water is best served chilled.
  • Portion Control: Start with 1 tablespoon of chia seeds if you’re new to high-fiber drinks.
