Agua de limón con chía

Method

1. 1 Soak chia seeds in cold water for 30 minutes until they swell and form a translucent, slimy layer.
2. 2 Soak them separately in cold water, not in lemon juice, as the acid will cause the seeds to swell unevenly.
3. 3 Dissolve white sugar and a little palm sugar in warm water until completely dissolved, then let it cool.
4. 4 Squeezing lemon juice into cool sugar water, or into hot water, will give it a sour yet bitter taste.
5. 5 Mix in the swollen chia seeds and refrigerate for 1 hour.
6. 6 Stir again before pouring as the chia seeds settle at the bottom. Pour into a glass with ice and mint leaves.
