*Expert Tip: Using a manual squeezer extracts the essential oils from the rind, increasing the antioxidant profile of your water.*
Instructions
- Prep the Citrus: Juice one lemon into a large glass pitcher. Ensure no seeds remain to maintain a smooth texture.
- Layer the Aromatics: Add the thinly sliced lemons and fresh mint sprigs. For maximum flavor release, gently clap the mint leaves between your hands before adding them to release the volatile oils.
- Hydrate & Chill: Pour in 2 quarts of purified water and add ice.
- Infuse: Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the nutrient-dense compounds from the lemon and mint to fully permeate the water.
- Serve: Pour into highball glasses and enjoy this refreshing, alkalizing beverage throughout the day.

Professional Wellness Notes
Storage: Keep the infusion refrigerated at all times. For the best flavor profile, consume within 24 hours. If storing longer, remove the lemon slices after 12 hours to prevent the pith from adding a bitter aftertaste.
Freezing & Prep: To enjoy a nutrient-boosted drink on the go, freeze fresh mint leaves and lemon juice in silicone ice cube trays. Simply drop two cubes into your water bottle for an instant detox effect that lasts all morning.
