Refreshing Citrus and Mint Infused Water

Infused water is a delightful way to stay hydrated while adding a burst of flavour and nutrients. Here's a simple recipe to get you started:

Ingredients:

• 1 lemon, thinly sliced

• 1 lime, thinly sliced

• 1 orange, thinly sliced

• A handful of fresh mint leaves

• 1-2 litres of cold water

• Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

• Wash the lemon, lime, and orange thoroughly.

• Thinly slice the citrus fruit.

• Gently rinse the mint leaves to remove any dirt.

1. Combine in a jug:

• Place the citrus slices and mint leaves into a large jug.

• Pour cold water over the fruit and mint.

1. Chill and Infuse:

• Place the jug in the fridge.

• Let it sit for at least 2 hours to allow the flavours to infuse. For a more intense flavour, leave it overnight.

1. Serve:

• Add ice cubes to the jug if desired.

• Pour the infused water into glasses, ensuring some fruit and mint are included in each serving.

Tips:

• Experiment with flavours: Try adding other fruit like strawberries, cucumber slices, or blueberries for a different twist.

• Herbal Enhancements: Basil, rosemary, or thyme can be great alternatives to mint.

• Reusable Ingredients: You can refill the jug with water a couple of times using the same fruit before they lose their flavour.

Enjoy this refreshing, natural, and hydrating drink any time of the day!
