Citrus Infused Water
This Citrus Infused Water is a bright, refreshing drink made with fresh lemon juice, lime juice, mint, and a touch of honey for natural sweetness.
Equipment
- Citrus press
Ingredients
- 1 gallon water
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 sprigs fresh mint
- ⅓ cup honey
Instructions
- In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon and lime juices with honey. Stir well until the honey is completely dissolved.
- Pour in the gallon of water and add the mint sprigs. For extra flavor, gently bruise the mint leaves by lightly pressing them with the back of a spoon before adding.
- Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours (or overnight for a more pronounced flavor).
- Stir the infused water before serving. Enjoy chilled, over ice if desired.

Notes
- Dissolve the Honey First: Stirring the honey with the citrus juice before adding the water helps it dissolve evenly and prevents it from settling at the bottom.
- Use Fresh Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon and lime juice give the cleanest, brightest flavor compared to bottled juice.
- Bruise the Mint Gently: Lightly pressing the mint releases flavor without making it bitter.
- Chill for Best Flavor: Letting the water chill for a few hours allows the citrus and mint to fully infuse.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste after chilling and add more honey or water if needed to suit your preference.
