Low FODMAP Orange Vanilla Infused Water
Bright citrus and warm vanilla make for an unexpectedly elegant pairing, and this infused water delivers both in a way that feels almost indulgent without any effort at all. Fresh navel orange rounds and a split vanilla bean steep slowly in cold filtered water, turning it faintly golden and beautifully fragrant over the course of an hour or two. It's the kind of drink that makes plain hydration feel like a treat, whether you're serving it at a weekend brunch or just keeping a pitcher in the fridge for the week. For anyone navigating a low FODMAP approach, flavored drinks and store-bought beverages can sometimes hide sneaky additives or high-fructose ingredients — here, every single component is clean and straightforward. A gentle press of the orange slices releases just enough juice to flavor the water without overwhelming it, and the vanilla bean adds depth without any sweetness. Serve it over ice straight from the pitcher and let the fruit and bean continue infusing as you pour. Makes 4 servings, and honestly, you'll want to keep this one on rotation.
