Xanthan Gum Free Orange Cinnamon Infused Water
Bright citrus and warm spice make this infused water feel like something you'd order at a spa, except it takes almost no effort to pull off at home. A few rounds of navel orange and a single cinnamon stick do all the heavy lifting, slowly releasing their flavors into cold filtered water as it chills in the fridge. The result is a pale amber-gold drink that smells incredible and tastes subtly sweet and aromatic without any sweeteners, additives, or thickeners of any kind. For anyone navigating ingredient labels on flavored waters and wellness drinks, this is a genuinely clean alternative — just fruit, spice, and water. If you like a bolder cinnamon kick, let it steep the full four hours; pull the stick earlier if you want something gentler. It keeps well for up to 24 hours, so you can make a big pitcher and sip on it all day long.
