Ingredients
- Serves 4100g chia seeds
- 350ml boiling water
- 4 chai tea bags (or rooibos if you prefer)
- 8 dates or prunes, pitted
- 100g tahini
- Punnet of blueberries
- Some honey, stevia or maple syrup to sweeten
This is very quick to prepare. Brew the tea bags in the boiling water until it’s tepid, then remove them. Meanwhile, in a blender, blitz the dates/prunes along with the tahini. Then blend this mixure with the tea and soak the chia seeds in it for 30 minutes, or overnight. To serve, sweeten with a little honey, or stevia or maple syrup, and top with plenty of blueberries.
