Ingredients
  • INGREDIENTS
  • 1 cup white chia seeds
  • 1.5 cup milk (I used a mixture of cow's milk and soy milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean extract
  • 1 tablespoon vino cotto
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or to taste)
  • 1 packet mixed frozen berries
  • 3 tablespoon spiced mead
  • 1.5 tablespoons orange juice
  • Fresh fruit - a few figs or a punnet of strawberries, raspberries or blueberries
  • A few roasted and salted pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, mix chia seeds with milk, vanilla, vino cotto and honey until thoroughly combined.
  2. Cover and leave overnight in the fridge.
  3. In a small saucepan mix berries with mead and orange juice. Cook over a medium heat for 8 minutes and then leave to cool.
  4. To assemble, wash, hull and dice the strawberries and wash the blueberries.
  5. Spoon a few tablespoons of chia into a bowl and then top with a few tablespoons of stewed fruit and fresh fruit.
  6. Garnish with pistachios if desired.
Notes
If you leave the chia mixture for a while (or overnight) and the mixture becomes too thick simply whisk in some extra milk before adding the fruit.
