1 cup water
2 cups brewed fruity tea of choice
Sweetener of choice (such as Torani Sugar Free Raspberry Syrup)

Step 1: In a container, mix the chia seeds with 1 cup of water. Stir well to prevent clumping, then refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the seeds to absorb the water and form a gel-like consistency.

Step 3: Add your preferred sweetener to taste and mix again. Refrigerate the drink for another hour before serving chilled.

Soak chia seeds longer if you prefer a thicker texture.

Storage

FAQs

Can I use other types of seeds instead of chia?

Chia seeds are unique in their ability to absorb liquid and create a gel texture, so substitutes like flax or basil seeds may not produce the same consistency but can be experimented with.

Is this drink suitable for keto diets?

Yes, this recipe is low carb and keto-friendly, especially if you use a sugar-free sweetener and unsweetened brewed tea.
