Chicken Free Cranberry Orange Infused Water
Bright, jewel-toned, and endlessly refreshing, this infused water is the kind of thing that makes a plain glass feel like a treat. Fresh cranberries get a gentle squeeze before they hit the pitcher, which coaxes out their deep ruby color and tart juice without any cooking or added sugar. Thin rounds of orange layer in a soft citrus sweetness that balances the cranberries beautifully as everything steeps together in the fridge. The longer it sits — up to eight hours — the more vivid and flavorful it becomes, so making a batch the night before is a genuinely great idea. It's three ingredients, zero fuss, and the result looks stunning on a table whether you're hosting brunch or just trying to drink more water on a Tuesday. Pour it over ice straight from the pitcher and let the fruit keep doing its thing right up until the last glass.
