Refreshing Mint & Lemon Infused Water

Ingredients

  • 1 medium lemon, thoroughly washed

  • 8 to 10 fresh mint leaves, rinsed

  • 4 cups (1 liter) filtered water

  • 1 cup ice cubes (optional, for chilling)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Lemon: Slice the washed lemon into thin, even rounds. Remove any visible seeds to prevent bitterness.

  2. Wake up the Mint: Gently clap the fresh mint leaves between your hands. This bruises them slightly, releasing their natural aromatic oils without tearing them.

  3. Assemble: Place the lemon slices, mint leaves, and ice cubes into a large glass bottle or pitcher.

  4. Add Water: Pour the filtered water over the ingredients, ensuring everything is fully submerged.

  5. Infuse and Serve: Let the water sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 to 2 hours before serving. This allows the bright citrus and cool mint flavors to beautifully meld into the water.

Pro-Tip: You can refill the pitcher with fresh water 2 to 3 times throughout the day using the same ingredients. For the best taste, enjoy your infused water within 24 hours.
