Refreshing Strawberry Lime Basil Infused Water

  • Author: A Cultivated Nest

Description

This is a delicious way to get your daily water requirement in!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 16 oz. canning jar
  • 34 fresh strawberries, halved
  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves
  • 34 lime slices

Instructions

  1. Add all the fruit to the canning jar and use a spoon or a fork to gently mash the fruit and leaves down – this will let the juice out to infuse your water (it’s called “muddling”). You can strain them out later or leave in – it’s up to you.
  2. Next, fill the jar with filtered water, place the cover on and refrigerate overnight for the best flavor.
  3. I strain mine and then I add some more fresh sliced strawberries, lime slices and basil (looks prettier if it’s not just you drinking it). Then it’s ready to enjoy!

Notes

If you’d prefer to use a larger or smaller canning jar, simply double or cut the recipe ingredients in half and refrigerate overnight.

This will keep about 2 days in the fridge.
