Artificial Food Coloring Free Green Tea Citrus Infused Water
Every sip of this infused water is bright, refreshing, and genuinely beautiful — think pale golden liquid threaded with rounds of lemon and orange, with a cool whisper of mint in every glass. It's the kind of drink that looks like it came from a spa menu but comes together with just a pitcher and a few hours in the fridge. For anyone trying to cut out synthetic dyes, store-bought flavored waters and sports drinks can be a minefield of neon colors and unpronounceable additives — this recipe sidesteps all of that entirely. The color here comes purely from green tea steeping into cold filtered water, giving it a soft, natural golden hue that no artificial tint could improve on. Lemon, orange, and fresh mint do all the heavy lifting on flavor, so there's nothing hidden and nothing to second-guess. It's an effortless pitcher drink that works for kids, guests, or just keeping yourself hydrated without compromise.
