Black Pepper Free Whole30 Apple Cinnamon Sparkling Water
Crisp apple and warm cinnamon make for a surprisingly sophisticated pairing in a sparkling drink that feels festive without any fuss. A lot of flavored waters and sodas sneak in spice blends or "natural flavors" that can be hard to trace, so making your own at home puts you fully in control of every single ingredient. Here, thinly sliced apple and whole cinnamon sticks do all the heavy lifting, slowly infusing chilled sparkling water with a gentle, fragrant flavor that's refreshing without being sweet or syrupy. The short refrigerator rest is the secret — it gives the fruit and spice just enough time to bloom into the water without turning it murky or overpowering. It's the kind of drink that looks beautiful in a glass pitcher on the table and tastes like you put in way more effort than you actually did. Pour it over ice and serve it straight from the fridge for the best fizz and flavor.
