Water and Ice
Great for adding to your infused water
recipes. Boil water first. The boiling water
really keeps them clear! Mini muffin pan gives
a unique look versus
a regular ice cube tray.
Try a silicon one. Add
fruit of your choice
and freeze!
Mix all ingredients in a pitcher. Chill for a
stronger flavor or serve right away for a nice
light refreshment.
Store your infused water in airtight containers such as a Mason jar, glass pitcher, water bottle, gallon
jug, etc. Keep in the refrigerator for up to a week until the flavor is no longer present.
