Tree Nut Free Cranberry Orange Infused Water
Bright, jewel-toned, and refreshing, this infused water turns a handful of simple ingredients into something that looks and tastes genuinely special. Gently pressing the cranberries before they go into the pitcher is the key move here — it coaxes out their deep ruby color and tart juice without any extra equipment or effort. The orange rounds add a soft citrus lift that balances the cranberry's sharpness, and after a few hours in the fridge the whole pitcher takes on a gorgeous pale pink-red hue. It's the kind of drink that makes a regular Tuesday feel a little more put-together, whether you're setting it out for guests or just treating yourself. Everything in this recipe is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's zero label-reading stress — just whole fruit and cold water doing their thing. Pour it over ice straight from the pitcher and let the fruit keep infusing as you go back for refills.
