Orange Blueberry Basil Water
Apr
14th
The best way to describe this infused water is “clean and bright.” The fruits add a touch of sweetness and you can taste the basil on the aftertaste. Plus, the combination of colors is quite beautiful!
Recipe for an 80 oz Infused Water Acrylic Pitcher: 2 slices of organic orange, quartered, + 10-15 blueberries + 6 basil leaves.
When you put in the blueberries, give them a small squeeze in your hand so that you break their skin a little. This will allow their juices to seep out. Also, when adding the basil, tear the leaves in half to allow the essential oils to be released. Enjoy!
