This orange infused water with mint is perfect for hot summer days. If you haven’t made your own homemade infused water, now it’s the time. This flavored water is not only refreshing, it will also quench your thirst.
Plain water is always great for you, but can be a bit boring (sorry water lovers :)). But some of us struggle with consuming the recommended daily amount of consumption.
Infused water is a great way to make sure you are taking giving your body the fluid it needs, plus extra vitamins at the same time.
Ingredients
1 large orange; sliced
8 fresh mint leaves
2 ½ cups water
Wash and slice the orange. Place the orange slices in the pitcher. Add the mint leaves. Then add the water.
Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours before serving.
