AIP Friendly Green Tea Citrus Infused Water
Staying well-hydrated on an autoimmune protocol doesn't have to mean plain water forever, and this infused pitcher is proof of that. Fresh lemon and orange rounds steep alongside green tea bags and mint leaves, turning cold filtered water into something lightly golden, gently fragrant, and genuinely refreshing. The slow refrigerator infusion — anywhere from two to eight hours — lets the citrus and tea meld together without any heat, so the flavors stay bright and clean rather than bitter. Every ingredient here is naturally free from grains, legumes, nightshades, and dairy, which means you can sip confidently without scanning a label or second-guessing a single thing. It's the kind of drink that looks stunning on a table with the citrus rounds floating inside, but takes almost no effort to put together. Pour it over ice and it becomes an instant upgrade to any meal, snack, or slow afternoon at home.
