Ingredients
  

For the drink

  • 1/2 cup filtered water, hot (warm in microwave for 60 seconds)
  • 3 Tbsp Chia Seeds
  • 300 g strawberries (about 10)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar Note: you could use as low as 1/4 cup here if you prefer a less sweet version or if your strawberries are very sweet
  • 1/2 cup lime juice (about 4 large limes)
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice (about 3 large lemons)
  • 4 cups sparkling water
  • 2 cups ice

For Infusion

  • 4-6 slices lemon, + more for garnish
  • 4-6 slices lime, + more for garnish
  • 8-10 strawberries, slices, + more for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Mix your hot water and chia seeds, set aside to bloom while you prepare everything else.
  • In a blender, puree your 300g strawberries with the granulated sugar until smooth.
  • If you are preparing your drink in advance, hold off on adding the lemon slices, lime slices, and strawberry slices until close to your event. When you are ready to serve (or at most 4-5 hours in advance), add your lemon slices, lime slices, and sliced strawberries to your jar.
  • To your jar, add the lemon juice, lime juice, chia mixture, and strawberry puree. Stir to combine.
  • Top with ice and sparkling water, and stir just till mixed. Close your jar with an airtight lid (this is the jar I use in the picture and video: https://amzn.to/3Q3ktqP).
  • Keep chilled until ready to serve, and enjoy!
