Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Filtered water
- 1 medium (sliced) Lemon
- 0.5 medium (sliced) Cucumber
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 5 whole (hulled and sliced) Strawberries
- 2 teaspoons Honey (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Superfood powder, such as acai or spirulina (optional)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Wash all fruits and herbs thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or residue.
Slice the lemon, cucumber, and strawberries into thin rounds, and set them aside.
In a large pitcher, add the sliced lemon, cucumber, strawberries, and mint leaves.
Optional: If using honey, dissolve it in a small amount of warm water before adding it to the pitcher along with the optional superfood powder.
Pour the filtered water over the fruits, herbs, and optional ingredients in the pitcher.
Gently stir the ingredients together using a spoon to release the natural flavors.
Add ice cubes to the mixture and stir lightly once more.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate the vitamin water for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to infuse (up to 12 hours for a stronger taste).
Before serving, gently stir the mixture again and optionally strain the water if you prefer to remove the solid ingredients.
Pour into glasses, garnish with additional mint leaves or fruit slices if desired, and serve chilled.
