Directions

• If you use honey, warm the milk and then stir in the honey.

• Pour ingredients, except the chia seeds, into a jar and mix well, then add the seeds and mix some more. Some of the seeds will try to stay floating, while others may sink to the bottom. Mix again periodically for the next 4-5 minutes or until the mixture stays well mixed.

• Cover the jar and store in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 2 hours. Overnight would be preferred if you added the optional oats.
