    For more than 4 servings, first divide all displayed ingredient totals into separate batches of no more than 4. Use each batch’s share of the displayed amounts in its own equipment. The night before, stir all chia seeds into 320ml of the listed water. Stir again after 10 minutes, cover and refrigerate at 0–5°C for at least 8 hours. The next morning, core the apples, reserve one-quarter of their edible weight in thin slices and coarsely grate the remainder.
