You can make this Mocktail into a cocktail by adding your favorite gin or liquor!
This super simple, make-ahead drink is lime in flavor and fun to serve.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Melissa’s white chia seeds
- 2 cups warm water
- 3 cups limeade
- Green food coloring
Directions
- Mix 6 tablespoons of chia seeds into 2 cups of warm water, stirring well to distribute.
- Refrigerate the mixture overnight.
- Slowly add three cups of limeade to the mixture the next day, whisking to break up any clumps and incorporate the two liquids.
- Add 2-3 drops of green food coloring to achieve desired color.
Recipe Note
Chia seed contains natural pectin, making the texture a thicker drink.
However, add more water or limeade if the texture is too thick.
