Pescatarian Vanilla Berry Infused Water
There is something quietly luxurious about pouring yourself a glass of water that smells faintly of vanilla and looks like it belongs at a spa. Fresh strawberries and blueberries bring a natural sweetness and a gorgeous pale pink blush, while a split vanilla bean adds a warm, floral depth that no flavored powder or syrup can replicate. Lightly pressing a few of the blueberries before adding them to the pitcher is a small but clever step that coaxes out more color and flavor without any extra effort. The longer it sits in the fridge, the more fragrant and vibrant it becomes — up to eight hours if you want a really pronounced infusion. It is the kind of drink that makes plain hydration feel like a treat, whether you are hosting a brunch, winding down after a workout, or just trying to drink more water throughout the day. A sprig of fresh mint over ice at serving time takes it from pretty to genuinely refreshing.
