Eosinophilic Esophagitis Friendly Vanilla Berry Infused Water
Staying well-hydrated gets a whole lot more enjoyable when your water tastes like a summer afternoon. Fresh strawberries and blueberries slowly release their natural sweetness and color into cold filtered water, while a split vanilla bean adds a soft, fragrant warmth that makes every sip feel a little special. For anyone managing a restricted diet that limits so many everyday foods and drinks, this is a genuinely satisfying treat with zero hidden triggers — just fruit, water, and a vanilla bean. Lightly pressing the blueberries before adding them to the pitcher is a small but clever step that pulls out more flavor without any heat or added ingredients. After a few hours in the fridge, the water turns a beautiful pale pink and carries that delicate vanilla scent throughout. Serve it over ice with a sprig of fresh mint and it looks as good as it tastes — the kind of thing you'd happily set out for guests without mentioning it's also completely safe for a sensitive diet.
