Sesame Free Mint Citrus Infused Water
Bright, refreshing, and endlessly drinkable, this infused water turns a simple pitcher into something that feels genuinely special. Fresh lemon and orange rounds steep alongside mint leaves to create a drink that's lightly fragrant, faintly sweet, and beautifully tinted without any added sugar or artificial flavoring. The trick of gently pressing the mint — just enough to coax out the oils without tearing the leaves — keeps the flavor clean and bright rather than grassy or overpowering. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from sesame in any form, so there's zero label-reading stress involved. It's the kind of drink that looks stunning on a table, whether you're hosting a brunch or just making a weekday feel a little more elevated. 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.
