Green Tea + Mint + Pomegranate Infused Water
prep time: 5 min
cook time: 0 min
Ingredients
1 bag green tea
2 sprigs mint
20 pomegranate seeds, crushed
Preparation
Place ingredients in a 32-ounce mason jar, and fill with 22 ounces filtered or sparkling water. Stir gently, cover, and refrigerate at least 1 hour (longer for more intense flavor). Store in refrigerator up to 3 days. Drink Up!
Tips for Better Infused Sips
Sit on it. The longer it soaks, the more flavor is released. Leave the water in the refrigerator overnight.
To meddle or muddle? Many recipes call for muddling, the process of mashing ingredients to maximize flavor by drawing out the essential oils in herbs, rinds, and fruits. Skip this step if you prefer subtle tastes.
Test the water. Use sparkling or unsweetened coconut water as the base instead of plain old H2O.
