AIP Friendly Mint Citrus Infused Water
Staying well-hydrated is one of the simplest things you can do to support your body, and this infused water makes it genuinely enjoyable. Fresh lemon, orange, and mint transform a plain pitcher of cold water into something bright, fragrant, and subtly sweet — no sweeteners, no additives, nothing to second-guess. Every ingredient here is clean and straightforward, which is exactly what you want when you're being careful about what goes into your body. The trick of gently pressing the mint leaves before adding the water is a small step that makes a noticeable difference, coaxing out that cool, herbal aroma without any bitterness. After an hour in the fridge, the water takes on a soft citrus blush and a light, refreshing scent that makes you actually want to reach for your glass. Just remember to discard the fruit and mint after eight hours — the citrus pith will start to turn things bitter if left too long. It's the kind of effortless, feel-good recipe you'll come back to again and again.
