Pescatarian Cranberry Orange Infused Water
Staying hydrated has never looked this pretty. Cold water gets a serious upgrade when fresh cranberries and bright orange slices are left to steep together, slowly releasing their color and fragrance until the whole pitcher turns a gorgeous pale pink-red. The trick of gently pressing the cranberries before adding them to the pitcher is a small step that makes a big difference, coaxing out their tart juice and deep hue far faster than just dropping them in whole. After a few hours in the fridge, you're left with something that tastes lightly citrusy and subtly tart — refreshing without being sweet or overwhelming. It's the kind of drink that looks like it came from a spa menu but costs almost nothing to make. Pour it over ice and leave the fruit in the pitcher so the flavor keeps developing as you sip your way through it.
