Chia seeds in my peppermint tea? Any tips or rules?

No rules, I used them in my iced coffee and to make 'low carb bubble teas' and enjoy them very much. It's best to stir them into hot liquid, already sweetened, and let them swell for 3-5 minutes before icing them. Otherwise it takes longer for them to expand.

Chia pudding with almond milk, sucralose, vanilla, and cocoa powder is also scrumptious. That just need to hang out in the fridge overnight to properly swell.

A rule, if you happen to be following Atkins, they aren't permitted during Induction.

Spruce up your peppermint tea with chia seeds! These tiny powerhouses add fiber, protein, and a fun texture. Soak 1/2 tsp per cup in water for 5 minutes to avoid clumps. Enjoy hot or iced, and adjust the amount based on how thick you like it. Want it sweeter? Honey or natural sweeteners are great companions. Feeling fancy? Garnish with fresh mint for an invigorating touch!
