Ingredients
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, chilled
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1–2 tablespoons sweetener (maple syrup, honey, etc.)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. 1. Brew coffee and let it cool completely. 2. In a medium bowl or jar, combine chilled coffee, milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk well. 3. Add chia seeds while whisking continuously to prevent clumps. 4. Whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes. Let sit for 5-10 minutes. 5. Whisk again thoroughly. 6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. 7. Before serving, stir and add a splash of milk if too thick. Serve cold with desired toppings.
Notes
Use the double stir method for best texture. Customize sweetness and coffee strength. Store in airtight container up to 5 days. Top with fresh fruit, nuts, granola, or chocolate.
