Chestnut Free Mint Citrus Infused Water
Bright lemon rounds, sweet orange slices, and a handful of fresh mint leaves turn a plain pitcher of water into something genuinely refreshing and beautiful. The citrus slowly perfumes the water as it chills, giving you a drink that tastes clean and lively without any added sugar or artificial flavoring. Gently pressing the mint before pouring in the water is a small step that makes a real difference — it coaxes out those fragrant oils without turning the leaves bitter or bruised. After an hour in the fridge, you get a lightly tinted, subtly sweet infusion that looks as good as it tastes. It's the kind of thing you'll want to keep on the table all afternoon. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of tree nuts of any kind, so there's no label-reading stress — just whole fruit, fresh herbs, and water doing their thing.
