Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups water
  • 1.5 teaspoon black tea (loose black tea powder)
  • 2 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ½ lemon extract
  • 3-4 chopped mint leaves optional

Instructions
 

  • Take a saucepan and add two cups of water.
  • Add tea leaves and bring it to a boil.
  • Sieve the tea drink into two cups or a glass using a filter.
  • Allow it to cool down.
  • Add one teaspoon of chia seeds in each cup or add two teaspoons of chia seeds in the entire tea.
  • Add lemon extract and honey to the tea according to the sweetness and sour flavor requirement.
  • Add chopped mint leaves to the tea as an optional ingredient.
  • Stir everything well.
  • Serve chilled or consume immediately.

Notes

  • Another way of making chia seed tea is to take hot water in a cup, and steep a black tea bag (remove the bag after steeping).
  • Add chia seeds, lemon extract, honey, and mint leaves to the tea(optional).
  • Let the tea sit for 10 to 15 minutes before consuming it, or chill it before drinking it.
  • Replacing black tea or black tea bags with green tea bags is also an ideal solution to make the tea.
