Chia pudding is an easy and nutritious breakfast or dessert. Chia seeds are highly absorbent, taking up many times their own weight in water. This makes them super handy in the kitchen for thickening drinks or puddings, or as an egg substitute. Here Tereza has flavoured her chia pudding with floral elderflower and aromatic bay.

Black wheat flour adds a wholesome and nutty flavour and beautiful colour to baking.
