Gut Friendly Green Tea Citrus Infused Water
Staying hydrated doesn't have to mean plain water, and this infused pitcher proves it beautifully. Cold-steeped green tea brings a gentle, antioxidant-rich base, while thin rounds of lemon and orange release their bright, zesty oils slowly into the water as it chills. Fresh mint rounds everything out with a cool, clean finish that makes each glass feel genuinely refreshing. The slow refrigerator steep — anywhere from two to eight hours — is what makes this recipe shine, coaxing out flavor without bitterness or added sugar. It's naturally easy on the digestive system, relying entirely on whole, recognizable ingredients with nothing processed or artificial hiding in the mix. Serve it over ice and leave the citrus slices floating in the pitcher for a presentation that looks far more effortful than it actually is. This is the kind of drink you'll want to keep a pitcher of in the fridge all week.
