Ingredients

Method

1. 01. Combine the almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in a glass jar or bowl. Whisk well to ensure the sweetener dissolves.
2. 02. Stir in the chia seeds. Ensure they are fully submerged and not clumped together.
3. 03. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then give it one final stir to prevent the seeds from settling at the bottom.
4. 04. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until it reaches a thick, gel-like consistency.
