Fruity Water
These delicious and refreshing concoctions are simply iced water with a slight hint of the flavour of the fruit used to make them.
Fresh fruit
Fresh water
Ice
Directions:
Begin with a large glass jar. The type for ice tea with a spigot at the bottom are perfect. About half fill the jar with ice. Then fill the jar the rest of the way with what ever fruit you are planning to use. The fruit should be cut into rather large chunks. Add several limes cut into slices and a sprig or two of fresh mint. Fill the jar with water and let it sit until the liquid is thoroughly chilled. You can keep refilling with water and ice several times.
