This last summer I added about a teaspoon each of chia seeds and lemon juice to my 18 ounce water bottle. The texture of the  mixture was sort of like bubble tea in that the seeds had a slippery texture but there weren't enough to thicken the water. What a refreshing drink even when it was hotter than body temp!
