Naturally Flavored Water {citrus-flavored water}

I must first tell you that I found this idea on Pinterest, and that it comes from this website. This is not my idea or recipe, but I'm excited about it! Today, I made the citrus version... Here's what I did:

Cut up an orange, a lemon, and a lime or two.

Put the slices into your container.

This was supposed to be done with a wooden spoon or muddler... I had neither (sad, I know!). Lightly muddle, press, and twist the fruit.

Add ice (to the top of the container).

Fill with cold water and refrigerate. They say that letting it sit overnight improves the flavor (which makes sense).

The website above has several options for this fruit-infused water. I plan to try some more, but if you're curious before I get to it, just click on the link above!

I have to say that I did not love this water... I left if overnight before I tried it (I didn't even try a sip of it the day I made it - I probably would have liked it better fresh). It was quite citrus-y... but bitter and tart. The kind of stuff that makes your mouth dry and makes you pucker. I didn't even drink the whole glass of water I poured. I'm still going to try some of the other versions, but if I do this again, I will make it just for the day that I'm going to drink it, and probably not put quite as much fruit in it. I think it could be very refreshing, I just wasn't a fan of the flavor when left overnight.
