The drink is good and I enjoyed it.
The hardest part of preparing it was draining and rinsing the seeds after they had soaked in the water. But I did like that their consistency was like the pulp of the limes.

When I first saw this recipe it looked a little wierd and I didn't know what chia seeds were. Then, when i went to the store to buy them it said on the package that it had more antioxidents than blueberries. When I made it, it was really good and now I put chia seeds in my water all the time.
