Chia Lime Water Recipe
Report
Delicious, tart chia lime agua fresca, limeade (limonada) with chia seeds added. Whole limes are blended with water then strained which gives the drink a pronounced lime taste. Andrés our photographer drank this regularly at home when he was growing up.

Instructions

- Cut the ends off the limes then cut into quarters and remove the seeds.
- Blend the limes, water, and sugar for 30 seconds.
- Strain liquid into a pitcher.
- Add the chia seeds and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
- Serve at room temperature or over ice.
Notes
- The lime zest gives the drink a tarter more pronounced lime flavor. Add more sugar if you prefer.
- If you find that is much to tart for you, you can prepare it with only the lime juice and not the whole limes.
- Typically, this drink is served without ice.
