Pregnancy Friendly Orange Vanilla Infused Water
Staying well-hydrated during pregnancy matters more than ever, and plain water can get old fast when you're already navigating a long list of what you can and can't have. This infused water delivers a gentle citrus sweetness from fresh navel orange rounds and a warm, floral depth from a real split vanilla bean — no artificial flavors, no caffeine, and nothing to second-guess. The process is beautifully low-effort: layer, press lightly, pour, and let the fridge do the work. After an hour or so, the water turns faintly golden and smells like something you'd pay good money for at a spa. It's refreshing enough to sip all day long, and the pitcher looks gorgeous on the counter or table when you're entertaining. Leaving the orange slices and vanilla bean in place as you serve means the flavor keeps deepening, so the last glass is just as good as the first.
