Agua De Limón Con Chía

Ingredients

• 8 cups water
• 3 tbsp chia seeds
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup lime juice – freshly squeezed
• ice cubes – for serving

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk the chia seeds with 0.5 cup of the water and let stand 10–15 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the seeds are swollen and suspended in a light gel.
2. In a large pitcher, combine the granulated sugar with 2 cups of the water and stir until completely dissolved, 1–2 minutes.
3. Stir in the freshly squeezed lime juice.
4. Loosen the chia gel with a fork and add it to the pitcher, stirring to distribute evenly.
5. Add the remaining water (about 5.5 cups). Taste and adjust with a little more water if the drink is too tart. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 30 minutes.
6. Stir the pitcher to re-suspend the chia, then pour into glasses over ice cubes and serve immediately.
