Shellfish Free Cucumber-Mint Water
Cool, crisp, and endlessly refreshing, this infused water is the kind of drink that makes you feel like you're at a spa without leaving your kitchen. Thin cucumber slices and fresh mint leaves steep together in cold water, releasing a subtle, clean flavor that's light enough to sip all day long. There's nothing to worry about here — just whole, simple ingredients that are naturally free from any seafood or shellfish concerns, making it a completely safe and easy choice for anyone navigating those restrictions. The longer it sits in the fridge, the more fragrant and flavorful it becomes, so you can tailor the intensity to your taste. It's a beautiful option for entertaining, too, since a pitcher left on the table keeps infusing and looking gorgeous throughout a meal. Swap out store-bought flavored waters loaded with mystery additives and make this instead — your guests will absolutely notice the difference.
