AIP Friendly Vanilla Berry Infused Water
Staying well-hydrated gets a whole lot more exciting when your water tastes like a summer farmers market. Fresh strawberries and blueberries bring a gentle sweetness and that gorgeous pale pink color, while a split vanilla bean adds a subtle, floral warmth that makes every sip feel a little indulgent. Lightly pressing the blueberries before adding them to the pitcher is a small step that makes a real difference, coaxing out their deep color and flavor without any heat or processing. This kind of drink is a natural fit for an elimination-style approach to eating, since every single ingredient is whole, clean, and completely free of anything that could trigger a reaction. There are no sweeteners, no additives, and no guesswork — just fruit, water, and a vanilla bean doing their thing in the fridge. It's the kind of refreshment you can sip all day, refilling the pitcher as you go and letting the flavors deepen over time. Serve it over ice with a sprig of fresh mint and it looks beautiful enough to set out for guests.
