What is Black tea with chia seeds?

Black tea with chia seeds is brewed black tea with chia seeds stirred in. It is a simple variation rather than a dish tied to one particular place: black tea is enjoyed across many tea-drinking cultures, while chia gives the drink a more substantial texture. As the seeds absorb liquid, they soften and become slightly gel-like, complementing the tea’s brisk, tannic flavour.

It can be served warm or chilled, and the seeds are best stirred through before drinking so they do not settle at the bottom. In places where black tea is commonly served with milk or alongside a snack, this version can be enjoyed the same way, though the chia changes the feel of the cup. It provides some fibre; leave out added sugar for a lighter drink.
