Sesame Free Green Tea Citrus Infused Water
Bright, refreshing, and genuinely beautiful in a glass, this infused water brings together the subtle earthiness of green tea with the sunny zing of fresh lemon and orange. A handful of mint leaves rounds everything out, adding a cool, clean finish that makes each sip feel like a little reset. The magic happens in the fridge — a slow, cold steep lets all those flavors meld together gently without any bitterness, so you end up with something that tastes far more special than the effort involved. Sesame hides in the most unexpected places — sauces, dressings, flavored beverages — but here every single ingredient is straightforward and clean, so there's nothing to second-guess. It's a great option to set out for guests, bring to a gathering, or just keep in the fridge all week as a more exciting alternative to plain water. Pour it over ice and let those citrus rounds do their thing — it's as pretty as it is delicious.
