Black Pepper Free Vanilla Berry Infused Water
Staying hydrated has never felt this luxurious. Fresh strawberries and blueberries slowly steep alongside a split vanilla bean, turning a simple pitcher of cold filtered water into something that looks and smells genuinely special. A light press on a few of the blueberries coaxes out their deep color, giving the water that gorgeous pale pink tint that makes it feel almost too pretty to drink. The vanilla adds a soft, floral warmth that plays beautifully against the bright berry notes — no sweeteners, no additives, just real ingredients doing all the work. This is the kind of drink that's naturally free from any spice-based irritants, making it a refreshing go-to when you need to be mindful of what's in your glass. Serve it over ice with a sprig of fresh mint and it's instantly the most elegant thing on the table, whether you're hosting brunch or just treating yourself on a quiet afternoon.
