- 3 Tbsp Chia seeds
- 6 cups water (1.5 liters)
- 5 large limes
- ½ cup simple syrup or ½ cup sugar (or your favorite sweetener according to taste).
Instructions
- 1
In a medium jar (with tight-fitting lid), add the chia seeds and 1 cup warm water. Close the lid and shake the container for at least 15 seconds. Place it in the fridge for at least one hour.

In a large pitcher, add the soaked chia seeds and just enough water to cover them. Mix the chia seeds with a fork to remove any lumps.

Add the rest of the cold water and the lime juice. Then add the simple syrup and mix. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed. Add more water if you would like it to be more diluted (though note that when you add ice, it will melt and naturally dilute the agua fresca).
