Chia Seed Water with Himalayan Salt
Chia Seed Water with Himalayan Salt is a simple, natural electrolyte drink crafted from chia seeds, warm water, lemon juice, and Himalayan pink salt, providing sustained hydration and energy.
Equipment
- Glass or jar
- Spoon
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1 cup warm/hot water
- Juice of ½ lemon fresh preferred
- A tiny pinch of Himalayan salt less than 1/8th of a teaspoon
Instructions
- Start with the seeds and water: Add the 1 teaspoon of chia seeds and pour in the 1 cup of warm or hot water into a glass or jar.
- Stir like crazy (at first): Stir immediately and vigorously for about 30 seconds to a minute to prevent clumping.
- Let it sit: Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes at room temperature, allowing the seeds to swell and create a gel-like consistency.
- Add the flavor and salt: Once the chia seeds have expanded, squeeze in the juice of ½ lemon and add your tiny pinch of Himalayan salt.
- Final stir and enjoy: Give it another good stir to combine everything, then sip and enjoy.
Notes
- Use warm water to help chia seeds bloom faster and more evenly.
- A single teaspoon of chia seeds per cup of water is ideal for a drinkable consistency; more makes it pudding-like.
- The initial vigorous stir is crucial to prevent clumping.
- This drink is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days, though it will thicken over time.
