Preparation

Step 1

To make these vitamin water recipes, I recommend using a pure spring water or excellent filtered water. Recipes are best when allowed to steep overnight in the refrigerator, but it’s okay to take a sip or two when it’s just made.

All recipes make 10 cups

Mix all ingredients together in a large glass pitcher or jar. Let steep in the refrigerator overnight. Serve chilled, over ice. Strain if needed. Serve with a sunny day.
