Remember me planting a mint garden, well it's done well, can't really kill the stuff, but I've picked my first batch and am trying something new with it, infused waters! I read a article on how herbed infused waters are loaded with benefits just for the picking, so why not! Super easy to do also, just hand pick the amount of mint/herbs for your size pitcher, wash well and pat dry. Place mint in a clean pitcher, glass is best and fill with water and chill overnight so the mint can infuse with the water and tickle your taste buds the next day! I'm making a batch of orange mint water, I should of grabbed one orange while I was the grocery store today but will next time, I'm hoping the orange mint will have a little orange flavor to it, either way, it will be refreshing and just in time for another round of 90 temps this weekend.
The beauty of these infused waters is you can get creative with the flavors, use your own herbs and fruits and it gives plain ole water and new twist! So, refresh your taste buds and create your own personal waters, bottoms up!
I didn't think of orange mint water.....brilliant! I'll be giving it a try as the weather heats up. :-)
ReplyDeleteI just the flavor it adds to any beverage.. Mint is indeed a perfect pair!
ReplyDeleteDo you muddle the herbs in the pitcher or just put them in the pitcher?
ReplyDeleteAnn, I just put them in the pitcher and fill with water, but you can muddle them up, I love that word!!
ReplyDeleteSounds refreshing:)
ReplyDeleteLove this idea and will be trying it...lots of mint to use here too
ReplyDeleteI often cut fresh mint and add to my ice water but I never thought about adding lime or orange. Thanks for the Tip! I am going to give it a try. ;o)
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you Mz Junebug!!!. MB
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteLove growing the mint as it smells wonderful. I like to add it to lemonade. I get so thirsty as it has been so dry around here. May you have a great week!
Blessings, Roxy
