Seed Oil Free Chilled Strawberry Basil Infused Water
Staying away from processed seed oils is easy when your drink of choice is this gorgeous, naturally flavored water. Fresh strawberries and bruised basil steep overnight in cold filtered water, turning it a soft blush pink with a scent that's equal parts fruity and herbal. There's nothing to cook, no labels to scrutinize, and absolutely zero hidden ingredients — just whole fruit, fresh herbs, and water doing their thing in the fridge. The trick of pressing the basil between your palms before adding it to the pitcher is a small step that makes a noticeable difference, coaxing out that sweet, peppery fragrance. Pour it over ice and it looks like something from a spa menu, but it couldn't be simpler to pull off at home. It's the kind of drink that makes plain water feel like a treat without any fuss or compromise.
