Citric Acid Free Whole30 Apple Cinnamon Sparkling Water
Flavored sparkling waters sound simple until you start reading labels and realize how many of them sneak in citric acid as a preservative or flavor enhancer. This refreshing drink skips all of that by letting a fresh apple and a couple of cinnamon sticks do the heavy lifting. After a short rest in the fridge, the sparkling water picks up a gentle, naturally sweet apple fragrance and a warm hint of spice that feels genuinely satisfying. It's the kind of drink that looks beautiful in a glass pitcher and tastes like you put in way more effort than you actually did. The ingredient list is about as clean as it gets — just real fruit, a pantry spice, ice, and plain bubbly water. Pour it over ice at a weekend brunch or sip it alongside dinner when you want something a little more special than plain water without any compromise on what's in your glass.
