    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.

    glass and pitcher of water with lime and mint

    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.

        Not gonna lie. I felt dumb for posting it. But, for whatever reason, people hadn't thought to make it.

      It's been so hot out I'm trying to find new cold drinks to try (hey can't turn the oven on, so why not make drinks!) I'll have to give this one a try asap!

      Yes, this is part of my morning routine! A big glass of lime water before yoga and another after, it really helps me start the day right. I never thought about freezing the juice though, such a great idea!

      This sounds like a great idea, Krissy! At one point, I was addicted to Mountain Dew, now I'm proud to say I love water. 🙂 The naturally flavored water got me started. I love lemon water, love cucumber water. I've tried many fruits, but I don't think I tried lime. Can't wait to try it now!

      PS: I do the same bulk juicing with my lemons too.
