Alpha Gal Friendly Vanilla Berry Infused Water

There is something quietly luxurious about a pitcher of water that smells faintly of vanilla and looks like it belongs at a spa. Fresh strawberries and blueberries do the heavy lifting here, lending a soft blush color and natural sweetness, while a split vanilla bean adds a warm, floral depth that makes every sip feel a little special. Lightly pressing the blueberries before adding them to the pitcher is a small trick that makes a big difference, coaxing out more color and flavor without any extra effort. Everything in this recipe is straightforwardly plant-based and free from the mammal-derived ingredients that people managing alpha-gal syndrome need to avoid — no hidden additives, no dairy, no meat-based gelatin, just fruit, water, and a beautiful vanilla bean. The longer you let it steep in the fridge, the more fragrant and flavorful it becomes, so it rewards a little patience. Serve it over ice with a sprig of fresh mint and it instantly elevates any meal, gathering, or quiet afternoon at home.
