I’m trying to drink a lot more water. I’m still dealing with cravings for something flavored. Infused Water is the perfect compromise between my health goals and my cravings. Wahoo! This is my recent flavor creation: Orange-Mint Infused Water.
My plan is to make a batch every night so my morning water has lots of flavor and replace every night before I go to bed. I plan to try lots of combos!
Orange-Mint Infused Water
Ingredients
- Oranges
- Fresh Mint
Instructions
- Wash oranges with soap and water in the sink, then slice.
- Rinse Mint leaves in water.
- Place sliced oranges and mint in the bottom of the pitcher and cover with plenty of water.
- The longer the fruit sits in the water, the richer the flavor. Refill water and re-use same oranges and mint.
- *The pitcher needs to be cleaned and produce replaced approximately once every 1-2 days.
There you go! An easy and healthy way to make your water a little more fun. Staying hydrated can be so tasty!
I mixed up a big batch for our 4th of July guests last week. Even the kids seem to prefer it, possibly because it was fancier. Little girls sometimes like things just for the simple fact they’re fancier. Sometimes grown women too.

Really you can’t go wrong. Try different combos until you find what you like. š
Iāve never used mint leaves before but this recipe sounds so refreshing. Can you give me an idea of how many leaves to use? Thanks for the clarity. Angela
It’s really a personal taste thing. The more mint, the stronger the flavor of it. Depending on the size of your pitcher, start with about 5-10 leaves and then go more or less depending on how it tastes. I personally really love a strong orange flavor and a lighter mint flavor.
