🍓 Raspberry Lemon Mint Infused Drink
Ingredients
2 cups fresh raspberries
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
1 lemon, thinly sliced
½ cup fresh mint leaves
8 cups cold water
1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup, optional
1–2 cups ice
Extra raspberries, strawberries, lemon, and mint for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the fruit: Gently rinse the raspberries and strawberries. Slice the strawberries and lemon.
Combine: Add the raspberries, strawberries, lemon slices, and mint leaves to a large glass pitcher or beverage dispenser.
Muddle lightly: Gently press some of the berries with a wooden spoon or muddler to release their juices. Don’t crush everything into a pulp.
Add water: Pour in 8 cups of cold water and stir gently.
Sweeten: Add honey or maple syrup if desired. Stir until well combined.
Chill: Cover and refrigerate for 2–4 hours so the flavors infuse. For a stronger flavor, refrigerate overnight.
Serve: Add ice to glasses and pour over the infused water. Garnish with fresh mint, berries, and a lemon slice.
✨ Optional Fizzy Version
Replace 2–3 cups of the water with chilled sparkling water just before serving for a refreshing, bubbly drink.
