  • Allow the lemons to infuse for at least 30 minutes.
  • Leave them in the pitcher for up to 4 hours but remove them after that.
  • Save the infused water in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Try mixing your lemon water with other flavors like blueberry or raspberry.
  • Do you prefer sparkling water? No problem, use that instead of regular water.
