Paleo Sparkling Pineapple Mint Water
Fresh pineapple and cool mint come together in a drink that feels genuinely refreshing without a drop of added sugar, artificial flavoring, or anything processed. The trick is bruising the mint leaves before they go into the pitcher — that simple step releases the essential oils and makes the infusion noticeably more fragrant and flavorful. After a short rest in the fridge, the cold water picks up a subtle tropical sweetness from the pineapple chunks, and then the chilled sparkling water gets folded in gently at the end to keep every glass lively and bubbly. It's the kind of drink that looks impressive on a table but asks almost nothing of you in the kitchen. Whole fruit, fresh herbs, and water are about as clean as ingredients get, which makes this a natural fit for anyone eating closer to the source. Serve it with a pineapple slice draped over the rim and a sprig of mint and it honestly looks like something from a spa menu.
