Alpha Gal Friendly Green Tea Citrus Infused Water
Bright, refreshing, and genuinely beautiful in a glass, this infused water brings together the delicate earthiness of green tea with the sunny brightness of fresh lemon and orange. The mint adds a cool, clean finish that makes every sip feel like a little reset. For anyone navigating alpha-gal syndrome, finding satisfying drinks beyond plain water can feel limiting — especially when store-bought flavored beverages and teas sometimes sneak in unexpected additives or natural flavors with murky sourcing. This recipe keeps things completely transparent: every ingredient is a whole, plant-based food you can see and identify. The slow cold infusion in the fridge does all the heavy lifting, pulling out gentle flavor without any bitterness. It's the kind of drink that looks impressive on a table but takes almost no effort to put together, and the citrus rounds floating in the pitcher make it feel genuinely special.
