Mint Infused Water
Mint Water has an earthy clean taste that reminds me of the sparkling feel of brightness and a fresh green field all at the same time!
That lovely essence that wafts through the air can flavor your water too. No point in wasting all that delicious flavor when your water could be infusing the benefit!
