Almond Free Mint Citrus Infused Water
Bright, refreshing, and endlessly sippable, this infused water is the kind of drink that makes you actually want to hit your daily hydration goals. Fresh lemon and orange rounds bring a gentle citrus sweetness, while a handful of mint leaves adds a cool, aromatic lift that makes every glass feel a little fancy. The trick of lightly pressing the mint before adding the water is a small step that makes a big difference — you get that fragrant, herbal note without any bitterness from torn leaves. Everything goes into a pitcher, chills for an hour, and comes out looking like something from a spa menu. There are no hidden additives, no flavored syrups, and absolutely nothing to second-guess — just whole fruit, fresh herbs, and water. It's a perfect make-ahead option for gatherings, meal prep, or simply keeping something delicious in the fridge all week. Just remember to swap out the fruit and mint after eight hours to keep the flavor clean and bright.
