Legume Free Mint Citrus Infused Water
Bright, refreshing, and endlessly sippable, this infused water is the kind of drink that makes plain hydration feel like a genuine treat. Fresh lemon and orange rounds bring a gentle citrus sweetness, while a handful of mint leaves adds a cool, aromatic lift that wakes up every sip. The trick of pressing the mint just once or twice — rather than muddling it — keeps the flavor clean and bright instead of grassy or overpowering. Everything goes into a pitcher, gets a long chill in the fridge, and comes out looking like something you'd pay too much for at a spa. It's naturally free from beans, lentils, peas, and every other legume concern without any substitutions or workarounds needed — just fruit, herbs, water, and ice. One thing worth keeping in mind: pull the citrus and mint after eight hours so the pith doesn't turn things bitter, and you'll have a perfectly balanced pitcher every single time.
