Peanut Free Lemon-Basil Orange Berry Infused Water
Staying hydrated has never looked this pretty. This infused water brings together bright citrus, juicy mixed berries, and fragrant torn basil for a drink that feels genuinely refreshing and a little fancy without any effort. The trick is a gentle muddle — just enough pressure to coax out the juice and oils without turning everything into a pulpy mess. After an hour in the fridge, the water picks up a gorgeous blush color and a subtle sweetness that makes plain water feel completely boring by comparison. Every single ingredient here is whole, fresh, and naturally free from nut-related concerns, so you can fill up a glass without a second thought. It also stretches beautifully — once you've poured the first round, you can refill the pitcher for a lighter second batch and get even more mileage out of the same fruit. Keep a pitcher chilled all week and you'll find yourself reaching for it constantly.
