Celery Free Orange Vanilla Infused Water
Bright citrus and warm vanilla make for an unexpectedly elegant combination, and this infused water delivers both in a way that feels almost indulgent for something so simple. The orange slices are gently pressed — not squeezed — so the water picks up a delicate, sun-kissed flavor rather than anything sharp or bitter. A split vanilla bean does the rest of the work, slowly releasing its sweet, floral depth as everything steeps together in the fridge. The longer it sits, the more beautifully fragrant and faintly golden the water becomes. It's the kind of drink that looks stunning on a table and tastes even better than it looks. For anyone navigating ingredient sensitivities, this recipe is refreshingly straightforward — just three clean ingredients with nothing hidden or processed. Serve it over ice straight from the pitcher and let the orange rounds and vanilla bean keep infusing for refills throughout the day.
