After all my cooking experiments in the kitchen, I had some orange left and way too much mint in my garden. I figure combine these to make a fun and delicious water recipe. It was really tasty and knocked me right out, or maybe that's because I was going non-stop for 17 hours. Either way, it complimented the fish dinner posted earlier today very well, and a refreshing treat for a very hot day. Infused waters are so easy to make and can virtually be made with anything. Grab your favorite herbs or grow your own and add it to water. You can refill the jug several times and still get a lasting effect from the flavors. Don't hold on to it for too long though, a few days at most- the plants will still mold and get old. For this recipe, cut up one orange, and add in about 2 cups of fresh mint leaves. Fill with 2 qt. water. Feel free to augment the recipe to your taste. I added a lot of leaves and the flavor is very minty. It tastes so good, like a healthy non-alcoholic mojito! Enjoy. :)
