Chia seeds are incredibly small, amazing and alien.

While I sprinkle Chia on many dishes, but Chia pudding has become a favorite dish.
Refrigerator: Vanilla or Horchata Chia Pudding
(Adapted from: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/222058/chia-pudding/)
Ingredients:
1 Cup Dry Milk mixture (Lactose free)
1/3 Cup chia seeds
1/2 TBspn white sugar
1 Capful vanilla extract
Or just use 1 Cup of Horchata and eliminate, sugar and vanilla.
Makes about 11oz.
Process:
Combine milk, chia seeds, sugar, and vanilla extract in a container with a lid.
Stir to mix thoroughly.
Add lid.
Put in frig overnight.
The Chia seeds will absorb the liquid, expand and jellify.
The next day, serve pudding, offer various toppings like: fresh fruit, dried blueberries, raisins, crushed nuts, sesame seeds or other items.
Over time, the pudding will thicken, add more liquid to keep it the consistency desired.*
*The more milk/Horchata I added, the more pudding I had as the Chia continued to expand.
