Ingredients
- 1 quart water (preferably filtered)
- 1/2 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 1 lime)
- 1/3 cup fresh mojito mint leaves
- A few slices of fresh lime (optional)
- 1–2 teaspoons sweetener of choice (optional)
Instructions
Combine ingredients
In a large jar or pitcher, add raspberries, mint leaves, lime juice, and lime slices (if using). Pour in the filtered water.
Optional: Muddle for more flavor
Gently muddle the raspberries and mint with the back of a spoon to release more flavor, especially if you’re short on time.
Let it infuse
Allow the water to infuse for 10–15 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for a longer infusion.
Sweeten to taste (optional)
If desired, stir in 1–2 teaspoons of your preferred natural sweetener. Taste and adjust as needed.
Serve and enjoy
Sip and enjoy once infused, or store in the refrigerator and serve cool—not overly cold. If storing for later, remove the mint after a few hours to avoid bitterness.
Notes
Tips for the Best Flavor & Texture
Let the water infuse for 10–15 minutes before serving. Lightly muddling the raspberries and mint can bring out more flavor.
Time-Saving Tips
Frozen raspberries work beautifully—no washing or trimming needed, and they help chill the water too!
Pairing & Serving Suggestions
Enjoy between meals as a refreshing way to stay hydrated, especially during hot weather or after light movement.
Storage Tips
Best enjoyed within 2–4 hours. If refrigerating, remove the mint after a few hours to prevent bitterness.
Final Notes
This water is naturally flavorful—no sweetener needed! But if you prefer a touch of sweetness, use a small amount of natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. Avoid stevia, erythritol, or other sweeteners that may affect taste or digestion.
