Total Time30 minutes
Course: Drinks
Cuisine: Mexican
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 4 Limes plus more for garnish
  • 6 Cups of water room temperature
  • ¼ Cup of sugar/sweetener or more to taste
  • 1 to 2 Tablespoons of chia seeds
  • Ice Cubes

Instructions

  • Dissolve the sugar in the liquids: Squeeze out the juice from 4 limes (should be ½ cup) and strain it into a large pitcher.  Add the room temperature water and sugar(or sweetener of choice) to the same pitcher.  Then use a large spoon to stir these three ingredients together until the sugar/sweetener has dissolved into the liquids.
  • Mix in chia seeds: Keep stirring the liquid in the pitcher while slowly pouring in the chia seeds.  Stirring while adding the chia will ensure that they don’t clump up.
  • Let chia seeds soak in the liquid for at least 30 minutes so that they are hydrated.
  • Add Ice cubes to individual glasses and pour the agua de limon con chia into each one.  Enjoy!
