Refresh yourself with the weight loss effects of this lemon, cucumber and seed drink.
đź›’ Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon of Chia seeds (creating that distinct floating layer seen in ) 🪟
- 1/2 Cucumber, thinly sliced or juiced 🥒
- Juice of 1 large Lemon + extra slices for a beautiful garnish 🍋
- 1.5 cups of Filtered Water đź’§
- Handful of Ice cubes 🧊
- Optional: A sprig of fresh mint or a drop of raw honey for sweetness. 🍯
👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prep the Cucumber & Lemon: Wash your produce thoroughly. You can either slice the cucumber into thin rounds (like the background slices in ) and let them infuse, or blend the cucumber with your water and strain it for a smooth, vibrant green base. Squeeze the juice of one whole fresh lemon.
- Combine the Liquids: In a large glass or jar, pour in your cucumber water (or filtered water and cucumber slices) and the fresh lemon juice. Stir gently to combine.
- Add the Crunch and Ice: Drop in a generous handful of ice cubes to keep everything ice-cold and crisp, just like the refreshing presentation in .
- Introduce the Seeds: Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon of chia seeds directly into the top of your drink. Give it a thorough stir so the seeds don’t clump together.
- Let the Magic Happen: Let the drink sit for 15 to 20 minutes. As the chia seeds absorb the liquid, they will expand into soft, gelatinous spheres that distribute perfectly throughout the glass, mimicking the beautiful texture shown in .
- Garnish and Serve: Slide a beautiful, thick slice of fresh lemon over the rim of your glass as a gorgeous garnish. Sip back, relax, and enjoy the ultimate cooling refreshment!
