Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
• 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1–2 teaspoons sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, agave, or sugar)

Instructions

1. Prepare Coffee Mixture: Brew coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature. In a mixing bowl or jar, combine the cooled coffee with milk and the sweetener, stirring well to dissolve the sweetener completely.
2. Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly ensuring they are evenly distributed in the liquid to prevent clumping.
3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 to 8 hours, or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like texture.
4. Serve: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. Serve chilled as is or topped with nuts, fruits, or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.

Notes

• Use brewed coffee that is fully cooled to avoid cooking the chia seeds prematurely.
• Adjust the amount of sweetener to your preferred level of sweetness.
• For a creamier pudding, use whole milk or a creamy plant-based milk like coconut or oat milk.
• Use a jar or container with a lid for easy mixing and storage.
• This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
