Seed Oil Free Mint Citrus Infused Water
Bright lemon, sweet orange, and cool mint turn a simple pitcher of water into something you'll actually look forward to drinking. Every ingredient here is exactly what it looks like — fresh fruit, fresh herbs, water, and ice — so there's nothing hidden, no processed additives, and absolutely no refined oils of any kind to worry about. The trick of gently pressing the mint leaves before adding the water coaxes out their natural fragrance without turning the drink bitter or grassy. After an hour in the fridge, the water takes on a soft citrus blush and a clean, herby aroma that makes plain hydration feel genuinely refreshing. It's the kind of thing that looks effortlessly put-together on a table but takes almost no effort at all. Just remember to pull the fruit and mint after eight hours — that's when the pith starts to fight back.
