Low Sodium Green Tea Citrus Infused Water
Staying properly hydrated gets a whole lot more exciting when your water tastes like a spa retreat. This infused pitcher brings together the delicate earthiness of green tea, the bright zing of fresh lemon and orange rounds, and the cool lift of mint leaves — all without a single grain of added sodium. For anyone keeping a close eye on salt intake, plain water can get monotonous fast, and flavored drinks at the store are often loaded with hidden sodium, sweeteners, or preservatives. This recipe sidesteps all of that with nothing but whole fruit, tea bags, and filtered water doing the heavy lifting. The slow cold-steep in the fridge is what makes it special — a few hours is all it takes for the citrus oils and green tea to meld into something genuinely refreshing and lightly golden. Pour it over ice and it looks as good as it tastes, making it just as fitting for a dinner party as it is for a quiet afternoon at home.
