Tips:
Using a high-quality glass pitcher really does improve the flavor.
Use fresh organic fruits and herbs, to avoid pesticides or unintended chemicals.
It takes at least 3-4 hours to ‘marinate’ in the fridge to get the fullest flavor.
Replace sodas and processed, sugary drinks for the family.
Perfect for entertaining this season, adding color and a lil pizazz to any occasion.
