Low FODMAP Mint Citrus Infused Water
Staying properly hydrated gets a whole lot more appealing when your water tastes like a spa day. Lemon rounds, a half orange, and fresh mint leaves steep together in a cold pitcher until the water turns faintly golden and beautifully fragrant — no sweeteners, no additives, just clean, bright flavor. The trick of gently pressing the mint leaves before adding the water coaxes out the essential oils without releasing any bitter compounds, so every glass tastes fresh and balanced. Citrus and mint are both well-tolerated at these portions, making this a genuinely gut-friendly way to sip more throughout the day without second-guessing the ingredient list. It serves four and comes together in minutes, with most of the work happening quietly in the fridge over an hour. Keep an eye on the clock though — pulling the fruit and mint after eight hours prevents the pith from turning things bitter, so you get the best flavor window right in the middle of the day.
