Instructions
In a large glass combine the water, chia, lime juice, honey, and salt.
2 cups cold water,
1 tablespoon chia seeds,
½ small lime,
½ teaspoon honey,
pinch pink Himalayan salt
Stir well to avoid clumps, and set aside for 10-15 minutes.
You will have to stir again as the chia seeds will settle with time - this is totally normal.
When the seeds are well hydrated (they should look sort of like a tomato seed with the jelly layer around it), give the glass a final stir.
Drink immediately.
