Staying hydrated has never looked this pretty. Fresh cranberries and bright orange rounds steep slowly in cold water, turning it a gorgeous blush-pink with a gentle citrus-cranberry scent that makes plain water feel like a real treat. The trick of lightly pressing the cranberries before they go in is a small step that makes a big difference, coaxing out their deep ruby color and tart juice right from the start. Many flavored waters and drinks on store shelves rely on additives and stabilizers that people following a carrageenan-free lifestyle need to avoid — this pitcher skips all of that entirely, since every ingredient is whole and unprocessed. After a few hours in the fridge, you're rewarded with something that looks elegant enough to serve at a brunch table but requires almost no effort at all. Pour it over ice and leave the fruit right in the pitcher so the flavor keeps building as the day goes on.
