Chia Lime Water Recipe

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.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 chia seeds heaping tablespoon
  • 2 key limes plus 2 more for garnish with lime slices
  • ¼ cup sugar to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash the limes well with soap and water.
  2. Cut the ends off the limes then cut into quarters and remove the seeds.
  3. Blend the limes, water, and sugar for 30 seconds.
  4. Strain liquid into a pitcher.
  5. Add the chia seeds and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
  6. 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.
