Servings: 8 Cups
Calories:
Ingredients
- 1 lb Dark Sweet Cherries (about 2 cups/450 g), fresh or thawed if frozen, pitted
- 3/4 Cup Sugar
- 3/4 Cup Fresh Lime Juice
- 1 Tablespoon Chia Seeds
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the cherries and 6 cups (1.2 liters) water (if using frozen cherries, you’ll probably end up with some juice in the bag once they’re thawed; feel free to substitute this for some of the water). Blend on high for 20 to 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth. Strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve right into an 8-cup (2 liter) measuring cup or pitcher.
- Stir in the sugar and lime juice, then stir in the chia seeds and refrigerate to chill. If you’re in a hurry, make sure to wait at least 20 minutes for the chia seeds to gel. Serve cold over ice
