Macadamia Free Mint Citrus Infused Water
Bright lemon, sweet orange, and cool mint come together in a pitcher of infused water that feels genuinely refreshing — the kind of drink that makes plain hydration feel like a treat. The trick is a gentle press of the mint leaves before adding the water, which coaxes out their natural oils without releasing any bitterness. After just an hour in the fridge, the water takes on a soft citrus blush and a clean, herbal fragrance that's hard to resist. It's the sort of thing you'll want to keep on the counter all afternoon. Every single ingredient here is whole and natural, so there's zero concern about hidden nuts or shared-facility surprises — just fruit, herbs, and water doing their thing beautifully. One thing to keep in mind: pull out the citrus slices and mint after eight hours, since the pith will start to turn the flavor sharp if left too long.
