Nitrate & Nitrite Free Green Tea Citrus Infused Water
Staying away from nitrates and nitrites doesn't mean settling for plain tap water or store-bought drinks that sneak in preservatives and additives you didn't ask for. This infused water is a genuinely refreshing alternative — bright with lemon and orange, gently earthy from green tea, and lifted by a handful of fresh mint. The slow cold-steep in the fridge is where the magic happens, letting all those natural flavors meld into something that tastes far more intentional than it is. Every single ingredient is whole and unprocessed, so you know exactly what's going into your glass. It's the kind of drink that looks stunning on a table with the citrus rounds floating inside, but honestly requires almost no effort to pull together. Pour it over ice and it's instantly the most elegant thing at any gathering — or just a really good reason to stay hydrated on a Tuesday.
