Coconut Chia Barley Tea Recipe (video) [View all]

This recipe was inspired by a drink I had at a Vietnamese restaurant recently. It was a roasted tea with milk and chia seeds and grass jelly. It was delicious, and had some great phantom flavours of chocolate! When we got home, hubby thought it would be a good mix with the homemade barley tea he frequently drinks, some chia seeds, and some coconut milk. Turns out, he was right!

This is a super simple recipe, and delicious. The chia does take some time to bloom, and ideally you'd want to let it sit in the barley tea for a couple of days in the fridge before drinking. They sort of act as tiny bubble tea tapioca pearls, and you can drink them up with a bubble tea straw, or just sip it. Also, you can make drink these either cold or warm (we microwave them briefly to warm them up). If you wanted to sweeten this, you could add a little dollop of maple syrup or even date syrup!
