Bamboo straws - a natural alternative to plastic straws

The recipe for a drink made of coconut water, lime and orange juices, chia seeds and mint is very simple and does not require any specialist skills.

Oranges in stores are available all year round, but the juice from these fruits will be the most delicious in winter, especially in December, when they are in season. So the drink is very versatile, it refreshes in the summer, and in the winter it provides many valuable vitamins and minerals. In winter, I recommend adding honey to the drink, and in the evening even a bit of white rum or gin.

Ingredients

400ml coconut water

3 - 4 teaspoons of chia seeds

juice of 1 orange

juice of 1 lime

fresh mint

optional - honey, rum, gin, ice

Execution

In a glass container (I recommend a bottle with a wide mouth), mix coconut water, orange and lime juices and chia seeds. Add mint leaves, close the bottle and put it in the fridge for 2 hours so that the chia seeds swell well. It is good to shake the bottle from time to time.

The ready drink is poured into glasses, which can be additionally filled with citrus slices and ice.

Such beverages and drinks are nice to sip through a straw, it's a kind of ritual. However, for the sake of the environment, choose natural straws! The first straws (that's probably where their name comes from) were straw tubes, environmentally friendly and fully biodegradable. Unfortunately, in the era of plastic, they have been replaced by colorful and fancy plastic tubes.

Fortunately, plastic straws have been banned in the European Union. Currently, drinking tubes and straws come in different varieties, from disposable paper straws to reusable glass, metal or bamboo straws.

During the pandemic, I try to shop online whenever possible. While shopping at the bee.pl store, I came across ecological bamboo straws.

"Bamboo straws without bark, milled. The straws are even and have the same size.
