Notes

  • This recipe doesn't contain significant amounts of calories, carbohydrates, protein, or fat. The nutrition info below is based on nutritionix.com. 
  • This beverage tastes best when it's chilled, so I definitely wouldn't skip the step of chilling it. However, if you use chilled water in the recipe, you could let the flavors meld for about 20 minutes rather than a full hour.
  • You can keep the water in the pitcher, covered, and in the fridge for up to two days.
