Confession time....I have a hard time drinking plain water! After so long, I just cant take it anymore and I tend to crave either very sweet tea (we call this Tallahassee Sweet Tea) or a soda. But, when I was diagnosed with Pseudotumor Celebri (optic nerve swelling) in May, I began to notice that when I would drink sodas, the vision loss would progressively get worse. Of course, we all know that sweet tea isn't the best for us but, I would dare to say it's definitely better than a coke. I've tried over and over to drink unsweet tea and I just can't. I do not like the taste, GIVE ME MY SWEET TEA!! Haha! I have done the half sweet, half unsweet....But again, I just have to make myself drink it.
A few months ago, my mom and I went to visit my sisters at college in West Palm Beach. The hotel we were staying at, had ice cold "spa water" in the lobby for guest. So I thought...Wait, I could make these in a beverage dispenser and keep it in my fridge to drink from all day long. Great Idea, I know...I'm giving myself a pat on the back. Just Kidding......Well, maybe!
This recipe is for the Lemon Lime Mint water, but the possibilities are endless. I have made spa water with strawberries, watermelon, mixed berries. Whatever your taste, go for it!
Lemon Lime Mint Water
3 Lemons
3 Limes
several sprigs of Mints
You will chop the mint.
Slice the Lemons and Limes
Then, muddle (crush with wooden spoon) the mint leaves and few slices of lemon and lime together.
Add everything into the dispenser and fill with water.
YUM!! Now, what would be some of your favorite fruits to make spa water with?
Much Love,
Chas
