Cooking Time
0 minutes, 40 minutes if cooking chickpeas
Yields
2 drinks
Ingredients
Juice from 1 lemon (about 3-4 Tbsp)
2 tsp real maple syrup, or honey
14 oz. filtered water
2 tsp chia seeds
ice
Garnish: lemon slice (optional)
Directions
Add fresh-squeezed lemon juice to Mason jar or another large container.
Add water and sweetener of choice. Stir to mix.
Add chia seeds and let sit for at least 20 minutes to hydrate the chia seeds. (I like to put it in the refrigerator overnight.)
When ready to drink, give the Agua Fresca a stir, add ice to two glasses and divide liquid between them. Add lemon slice and enjoy!
