PREPARATION

These steps are followed for the preparation of Lemon And Chia Seed Hydrator For Daily Energy:

• Add Lemon Juice: Squeeze the juice of one-quarter of a fresh lemon into a clean glass or jar. The citrus base not only brightens the flavour but also supports digestion and refreshes the senses.
• Stir In Chia Seeds: Add one teaspoon of chia seeds to the lemon juice. Stir gently so the seeds are evenly coated and start absorbing the liquid straight away.
• Pour Water: Add 300 millilitres of cold filtered water to the mixture. This creates the foundation of the hydrator and allows the chia seeds to begin swelling.
• Mix Thoroughly: Stir well to ensure the seeds do not clump at the bottom of the glass. Proper mixing helps them disperse evenly and form a smooth gel-like consistency.
• Let It Rest: Leave the drink to rest for about 10 minutes, stirring once midway. Once the chia seeds have expanded into a soft gel, the hydrator is ready to enjoy.
