DELICIOUS!!

This year I am growing herbs in a big whiskey barrel. Last night I chopped some of my Chocolate Mint up and put it in a large glass of water... it was delicious.

This morning I chopped up some fresh basil and put it in a travel mug with water and a dash of lemon juice. It is so refreshing. I highly recommend it!

    It's kind of like making your own bag-free tea.

    I love to do this with dandelion, peppermint, and red raspberry leaves! It's also a great "women's tonic" and full of vitamins and minerals! :)

    That's a great idea :-) I am not very fond of water, so maybe I can try that to see if it helps :-)

    I do this all the time!

    I have large mason jars which I use to make infused water. I put in a couple slices of orange and lemon and than a few mint leaves and let it sit in the fridge overnight. So yummy!
