Nitrate & Nitrite Free Fruit-Infused Water
Staying hydrated has never looked 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 on the table. Every single ingredient here is whole and unprocessed, so there is absolutely nothing hidden to worry about — no cured meats, no packaged shortcuts, just real produce doing all the work. The trick of clapping the mint between your palms before adding it to the pitcher is a small step that makes a noticeable difference, releasing those aromatic oils so the flavor blooms throughout the water as it chills. After an hour in the fridge, the water takes on a faint blush of color and a subtle fragrance that makes plain hydration feel like a treat. Add the ice right before serving to keep everything crisp and cold, and consider leaving the pitcher on the counter at your next gathering — it disappears fast.
