Ingredients
¼lemonup to ½ a lemon, sliced or cut into wedges
2mint sprigs1-3 work well
2quartsfiltered water64 ounces
Instructions
Slice the lemon into rings or wedges and place them into your pitcher. Squeezing them will add bitterness to the water.
Crush the mint in your hand and rub it a bit to bring out the flavor, then place it in the container.
Pour the filtered water into the container, place the lid on, and refrigerate.
If you find the lemon flavor is getting too strong over time, remove the lemon.
Store sealed in the refrigerator and enjoy within two days. Due to the acidity of the lemon, reusable straws are recommended to protect teeth enamel.
