Lime Water with Mint

Next time you entertain, your guests will love it if you set out a pitcher of Refreshing Lime Water with mint.  Its my favorite way to stay hydrated.

Drinking lime water:

Do you really need a recipe for lime water? Nope. You just squeeze some lime juice into some water. Voila!

The reason I took the time to make, photograph, and write about lime water is because I have found that a ton of people have never tried lime water and it’s my goal to convince you to make it.

I know there are some folks out there who love to drink water and get as much or more than they should on a daily basis. I’m not one of those people. I’m a coffee addict. I pretty much have to force myself to drink water and the only time I really want it is usually way past the point of dehydration.

I have found that I absolutely love water with fresh lime juice. When that wonderful green citrus flavor comes through, I can and will drink a ton of water (well, a lot more than I usually do).

Why this recipe works:

Lime juice, water, and mint. It’s such a simple combination, yet wonderfully refreshing.

This simple easy recipe works because it makes your ice water more refreshing and flavorful. When I drink water with lime juice, I tend to drink a lot more water than I usually would.

Plus, there are always great benefits to adding citrus to your diet like extra vitamins. It’s not just the flavor boost!

Quick tips:

• We love having lime water to drink at all times. Buy a big bag of limes from Costco, juice them all up at once, and then freeze the lime juice into single serving cubes. Once frozen, you can store in a resealable plastic freezer bag or container.
• If making a pitcher of lime water, add lime slices and lots of sprigs of fresh mint but be sure to save extra to garnish the glass.
