Experiment time: I decided to mix up a batch of Agua de Chia to see if it would give me and the rest of the people here in the office a much needed pick me up.

Step one.

Soak one cup of Chia seed in water until it is soft and spongy.

Step two.

Add a cup of sugar to two quarts of water. (We recommend healthier sweeteners such as raw honey or Stevia)

Step three.

Juice limes for a half cup of fresh lime juice then add to your soaking Chia seed.

Step four.

Combine your sweetened water with your soaked and limed Chia seed and stir.

Step five.

Serve and enjoy.

Conclusion: Agua de Chia did provide a nice charge and kept me working all through the day. It didn’t shock my system into hyper-mode like coffee does but it did get the job done and it was fun to drink with the floating gelatinous Chia in it, the taste was great too. Others in the office agreed that it give them a nice pick up. I think this drink will soon become a staple around here. Try it for yourself and let us know what you think.
