Capsaicin Free Green Tea Citrus Infused Water
Bright, refreshing, and genuinely beautiful in the glass, this infused water is the kind of drink that makes hydration feel like a treat rather than a chore. Thin rounds of lemon and orange steep alongside green tea bags and fresh mint, slowly releasing their flavors into cold filtered water over a few hours in the fridge. The result is a lightly golden, subtly floral sip with a clean citrus finish that's endlessly drinkable on a warm day. For anyone avoiding capsaicin, finding flavored drinks and wellness beverages at the store can be trickier than expected — spicy or "heat-infused" ingredients sneak into all kinds of products these days. This pitcher keeps things completely gentle and naturally free of any heat, relying only on tea, fresh fruit, and herbs to build its flavor. It's the kind of thing you can prep in the morning and come home to a perfectly chilled, fragrant pitcher ready to pour over ice.
