Ingredients

  • 3 whole large limes
  • 4 cups water
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup chia seeds

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Put the limes, water, and sugar in a blender and pulse 3 to 4 times, just enough to extract the juice from the limes but not crush the skins (which would make the drink too bitter). Strain through a fi ne-mesh sieve into a pitcher. Taste and add more sugar if you like.

  2. 2.

    Whisk in the chia seeds and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until completely chilled. Stir before serving, then serve over ice.
