Pescatarian Mint Citrus Infused Water
Bright, refreshing, and endlessly drinkable, this infused water is the kind of thing that makes a plain glass feel like a treat. Fresh lemon and orange rounds bring a gentle citrus sweetness, while a handful of mint leaves adds a cool, aromatic lift that lingers with every sip. The trick of pressing the mint just once or twice before adding the water is small but smart — it coaxes out the essential oils without releasing any bitterness. After an hour in the fridge, the water takes on a faint blush from the citrus and a fragrance that's genuinely hard to resist. It's a naturally plant-based drink that fits effortlessly into a pescatarian lifestyle, requiring zero effort beyond a little patience while it chills. Keep an eye on the clock though — pulling the fruit and mint after eight hours keeps the flavor clean and prevents the pith from turning things sharp. Perfect for entertaining, meal prep, or just making hydration feel a little more special on a regular Tuesday.
