Pour 300 ml of water into a glass or jar.
Add 1 tablespoon chia seeds to the water.
Stir well immediately to prevent the seeds from clumping.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
Stir again to break up any seeds that have settled or stuck together.
Allow the chia seeds to soak for another 5–10 minutes until they form a gel-like consistency.
Add 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice.
Stir thoroughly to combine.
Taste and adjust lemon juice if needed.
Drink immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours before consuming. Stir before drinking.
Tips
Always stir twice during soaking to prevent clumps.
Use room temperature or slightly warm water to help seeds expand faster.
Freshly squeezed lemon juice gives the best flavor.
If you prefer a thinner drink, add extra water.
Let it soak at least 10 minutes for proper texture.
Use a jar with a lid and shake instead of stirring if preferred.
Drink slowly rather than gulping for better digestion.
Store in the refrigerator if making ahead.
If new to chia seeds, start with half a tablespoon and increase gradually.
Rinse the glass promptly, as chia gel can stick to surfaces.
