Ingredients
Scale
Chia Mixture
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup water
Beverage
- 2 cups brewed fruity tea of choice
- Sweetener of choice (recommendation: Torani Sugar Free Raspberry Syrup)
Instructions
- Prepare chia gel: Mix the 3 tablespoons of chia seeds with 1 cup of water thoroughly, ensuring no clumps remain, then refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour to allow the seeds to swell and form a gel-like consistency.
- Combine with tea: Brew 2 cups of your favorite fruity tea and let it cool. Then, mix the chilled chia gel with the brewed tea thoroughly to combine all flavors evenly.
- Sweeten and chill: Add your preferred sweetener, such as Torani Sugar Free Raspberry Syrup, to taste. Stir well, refrigerate the combined drink for another hour to enhance the taste and serve chilled.
Notes
- Ensure the chia seeds are well mixed with water to prevent clumping before refrigeration.
- Choose any fruity tea such as berry, hibiscus, or peach based on personal preference.
- The sweetener is optional and can be adjusted or omitted for a zero-calorie beverage.
- Refrigerating twice improves texture and flavor blending, but you can prepare overnight for convenience.
- This drink is great for hydration and provides fiber and omega-3s from chia seeds.
