Buy food-grade whole flaxseeds (golden or brown) or a flax-millet mix labeled safe for human consumption. Start with a small bag to test tolerance.
Use 1 tablespoon (about 10 g) of seeds per cup (240 ml) of filtered water to begin. Increase to 2 tablespoons once your body adjusts.
Place seeds in a clean glass jar, add water, stir gently, cover, and soak 8–12 hours at room temperature or in the fridge.
In the morning, shake or stir well. Drink as is (the softened seeds add extra fiber) or strain if you prefer smoother texture.
Optional: add a squeeze of lemon, fresh mint, or a pinch of cinnamon for flavor. Avoid added sugar at first.
Prepare a batch for 2–3 days and store in the fridge. Always smell and stir before drinking. Most people start with half a cup for the first few days, then move to a full cup.
