Lemon Water
Description
Lemon Water consists of sliced lemons added to a container along with ice and water. The citrus infuses into the cold water over time, providing a gentle lemon flavor without added sugars or carbonation. Optional additions such as orange slices, fresh mint, or a teaspoon of honey can be included to tailor the flavor profile slightly.
The drink is chilled in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving, allowing the lemon and other flavors to meld. It lasts up to two days when refrigerated and can be topped with additional water as consumed, sustaining freshness and light flavor during that time.
This beverage serves as a lightly flavored hydration option suitable for daily consumption or meals.
