Make Your Own Herb Infused Herbal Waters
Original article from: http://
STONEGABLE APPLEMINT HERBAL WATER
good fresh water
fresh applemint, rinsed
Fill a pretty bottle with good quality water and add sprigs of applemint. Depending on how intense you want the flavor, slightly bruise some of the leaves, releasing the applemint oils into the water. Refrigerate for a couple of hours. Serve with plenty of ice and a nice sprig of mint.
Show restraint... herbal waters should be very lightly flavored, so you only need a small amount of herbs. They should gently infuse the water.
Some recipes call for steeping herbs in boiling water. This can changes the flavor of the herbs, loosing their just picked, fresh taste. I would not recommend this for herbal waters.
Be creative with herbs and tasty add-ins!
Here are some other delicious combinations for HERBAL INFUSED WATER...
~thinly sliced unpeeled cucumbers, thinly sliced lemons, spearmint and rosemary
~ lemongrass and lavender
~lemon verbena, lemon peel and thyme
~ citrus peel and and pineapple mint
~ lemongrass and mint
