Brew Coffee: Start your journey by brewing 1 cup of your favorite coffee. Let it cool down to room temperature to avoid affecting the texture of your pudding.

Combine Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Incorporate Chia Seeds and Coffee: Gently stir in 4 tablespoons of chia seeds along with the cooled coffee. Ensure everything is evenly distributed for a consistent flavor throughout.

Chill Mixture: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to chill for at least 4 hours or, for best results, overnight, so it can thicken properly.

Serve: Before serving your pudding, give it a good stir. Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips according to your preference for added flavor and texture.
