Optional Ingredients
- to taste mascarpone style yogurt or chocolate shavings (For a richer flavor)

Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl or jar, mix 1 cup milk with 1 to 2 shots of cooled espresso or about 1/4 cup strong coffee.
- Add 3 tablespoons chia seeds, 1 to 2 tablespoons sweetener, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Stir well for a full minute.
- Wait 5 minutes, then stir again to break up clumps.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, but overnight is best.

Notes
Store covered in the fridge for best results within 3 to 4 days. If it thickens too much, stir in a splash of milk to loosen.
