Ingredients

1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced

1 lemon, juiced and sliced

2 tablespoons chia seeds

4 cups filtered water

1-2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing the cucumber and lemon thoroughly. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and the lemon into wedges or rounds, depending on your preference.

Chia Seeds Prep: In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds with ½ cup of water. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the seeds to swell and form a gel-like consistency.

Mix Water Base: In a large pitcher, pour in the remaining 3.5 cups of filtered water. Add the cucumber slices and lemon juice. If you’d like your water a bit sweeter, mix in the honey or agave syrup at this stage.

Combine: Once the chia seeds have expanded, add them to the pitcher with the cucumber and lemon water. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients, ensuring the chia seeds are evenly dispersed.

Chill: Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This will allow the flavors to infuse and for the chia seeds to soften a bit more.

Serve: Pour the cucumber lemon chia water into glasses, making sure to include some of the cucumber and lemon slices. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.

Enjoy: Sip and enjoy this refreshing drink anytime throughout the day for hydration and a boost of nutrition!
