This strawberry water is fantastic on its own!
Youll notice that the flavor mellows over time,
if you store it over a few days. We made a big
pitcher and then used it as a fun drink
replacement for soda. This strawberry water is
best with a little sweetness, otherwise it tastes
very tart and flat. Sugar is to fruit as salt is
to vegetables it brings out the essence of the
flavors! If you prefer not to use sugar.Heres
the thing strawberry water does not work as an
infused water. The concept for this strawberry
water is more like an aqua fresca.

without worries about it keeping you up. You can
vary the mint in this recipe as long as it's
fresh. Peppermint or spearmint are classic

well. You can even use a mixture of them. While
you can use dried mint for tea, it doesn't
compare to the flavor of fresh herbs. Serve it
hot or iced, sweetened or unsweetened, and with
or without lemon. It's easy to adjust to your
taste and customize to each drinker.
