Rice Free Mint Citrus Infused Water
Bright, refreshing, and endlessly drinkable, this infused water is the kind of thing that makes you actually want to hit your daily hydration goals. Fresh lemon and orange rounds steep alongside gently bruised mint leaves, releasing just enough citrus sweetness and herbal coolness to make plain water feel like a genuine treat. The trick of pressing the mint only once or twice — rather than crushing it — keeps the flavor clean and bright instead of grassy or overpowering. After an hour in the fridge, the water takes on a soft golden tint and a fragrance that's honestly hard to resist. It's naturally free of grains, starches, and anything processed, so it fits effortlessly into a rice-free lifestyle without any label-reading stress. Just remember to discard the fruit and mint after eight hours to keep the flavor at its best — citrus pith has a way of turning things bitter if left too long. Pitcher on the counter, glasses at the ready, and you're done.
