AIP Friendly Fruit-Infused Water
Staying properly hydrated gets a whole lot more exciting when your water looks and tastes this good. Bright citrus rounds, cool cucumber slices, and a handful of bruised fresh mint turn a plain pitcher of water into something genuinely refreshing and beautiful. Every ingredient here is completely clean — no additives, no sweeteners, no sneaky fillers that can trip up a healing protocol. The trick of clapping the mint leaves before adding them is a small step that makes a noticeable difference, releasing those fragrant oils so the flavor really blooms into the water. After just an hour in the fridge, the water takes on a soft, golden-green hue and a gentle brightness that makes you actually want to reach for a glass. It's the kind of thing you can keep on the counter at a gathering and watch disappear, because it appeals to everyone — not just those following a specific eating plan. Simple, stunning, and endlessly customizable with whatever citrus you have on hand.
