Ingredients

• 2 cups Hibiscus tea
• 2 tbsp Chia seeds
• 1 Lime
• 2 tbsp Agave syrup
• 1/4 cup Fresh mint
• 1 cup Ice

Steps

1. Brew the hibiscus tea strong and let it cool to room temperature; hot liquid makes chia clump.
2. Whisk in the chia seeds and agave until the sweetener dissolves.
3. Rest 10 minutes, whisking once halfway; the seeds swell into tapioca-like pearls.
4. Stir in the lime juice and torn mint.
5. Fill glasses with ice and pour over; the drink should be ruby-red and lightly gelled.
6. Stir before sipping, as the chia settles.
