MSG Free Chilled Strawberry Lime Infused Water
Staying away from monosodium glutamate is genuinely easy when your drink is built from nothing but whole fruit, water, and ice. This pitcher of strawberry lime infused water is bright, refreshing, and naturally flavored — no flavor packets, no powdered drink mixes, no ingredient lists to scrutinize. Sliced strawberries and thin lime rounds steep in cold water for a few hours, slowly releasing a blush-pink color and a gentle sweetness that tastes like summer in a glass. The longer it sits in the fridge, the more fragrant and flavorful it becomes, so it actually rewards a little patience. A handful of ice and a sprig of fresh mint at serving time make it feel almost fancy without any extra effort. It's the kind of thing you can keep in the fridge all week and reach for whenever you want something more interesting than plain water.
