Ingredients
Scale
Chia Seed Mixture
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup water
Tea Mixture
- 2 cups brewed fruity tea of choice
- Sweetener of choice (e.g., Torani Sugar Free Raspberry Syrup) to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Chia Gel: Mix 3 tablespoons of chia seeds into 1 cup of water thoroughly. Refrigerate this mixture for 1 hour to allow the chia seeds to absorb water and form a gel-like texture.
- Combine with Tea: Brew 2 cups of your preferred fruity tea and let it cool if hot. Mix the chilled chia gel with the brewed tea in a pitcher or container.
- Sweeten and Chill: Add sweetener of your choice to the tea and chia mixture, stirring well to combine. Refrigerate for another hour to enhance the flavors and chill fully before serving.
Notes
- You can use any fruity tea flavor you enjoy such as raspberry, hibiscus, or mixed berry.
- For a thicker texture, let the chia seeds soak longer before mixing with tea.
- Adjust sweetness to taste or omit sweetener for a zero-calorie option.
- This drink can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for best freshness.
- Stir well before serving as chia seeds tend to settle at the bottom.
