For the Infused Water
- Cut off the orange ends. Cut the orange into quarters and then into thick slices.
- Place orange slices into a clean bottle. Top up with water.
- Place your bottle into the fridge and leave to infuse.
- You can start drinking your water after 2 hours, but the longer you leave it to infuse in a day, the better.
- You have the option to serve your orange infused water with ice cubes as a cool summer drink.
Notes
- Nutrition points are calculated with the orange slices. That means that's the nutrition info if you intend to eat your orange slices after they are done infusing waters. The infused water itself, is 0 calories.
