Ingredients

• 1.5 l cold water
• 180 ml fresh lime juice (about 8 limes)
• 100 g Sugar
• 3 tbsp Chia seeds
• Ice

Method

1. Stir the sugar into 250 ml of the water until dissolved.
2. Add the rest of the water and the lime juice, then taste and add more sugar or lime as you like.
3. Stir in the chia seeds and leave for 15 min, stirring a couple of times so they don’t clump, until they swell.
4. Serve very cold over ice, giving it a stir before pouring.

Tips

• Mexican limes are small and tart; if yours are mild, add a little grated zest (no more, or it turns bitter).
• Honey or agave syrup can replace the sugar.
