You know, there’s something magical about citrus fruits that just lifts my spirits.
I remember making this infusion on a lazy Sunday morning, the sun streaming through my kitchen window, and it felt like a little burst of joy with every sip.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Fresh citrus is key here; if you can't find unwaxed organic fruits, just give them a good wash. I love adding ginger for a warm kick, but feel free to adjust it to your taste. You can also swap mint for basil for a different twist!
Tips & Notes
- •I keep a jar of grated ginger in my fridge so I can add it to everything - it stays fresh for days!
- •Don’t skip the mint; it really elevates the whole drink!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll throw in a few berries like strawberries or blueberries for an extra layer of flavor and color.
- •You can also try adding a splash of sparkling water for a bubbly version!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in the fridge in a covered pitcher. It’ll stay fresh for about 2-3 days, but trust me, it’s hard to resist it for that long!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! It gets better as it sits. I like to make a big batch and keep it in the fridge for a couple of days.
