FAQs

Can I use hot tea instead of brewed and cooled tea?

It’s best to use brewed tea that has cooled to avoid disturbing the chia gel texture and to keep the drink refreshing.

Are chia seeds necessary for this recipe?

Chia seeds provide texture, fiber, and nutrients, but you can omit them if you prefer a simple fruity tea without the added thickness.
