Notes

Always soak chia seeds for at least 10–15 minutes before adding to coffee to avoid clumping and improve digestion. Start with 1 teaspoon and adjust up to 2 teaspoons per cup. Customize with milk, honey, cinnamon, or vanilla. You can prepare chia gel in advance and store it in the fridge for 2–3 days.
