Clementine Mint Infused Water
Refreshing infused water using blood oranges and fresh basil, chilling slowly to capture citrus aromas. Slightly simmered citrus releases essential oils, resulting in nuanced aroma and flavor. Cooling with ice balances vibrant acidity and herbaceous notes. Substitute with regular oranges or lemon basil for variation. Method avoids bitterness from pith extraction by brief heat exposure and rapid cooling. Herbal choices shift profile: basil adds sweet pepperiness; replace with thyme or rosemary for earthier tones. Two-step infusion extracts oils and brightens flavor while preserving freshness. Ideal on warm days requiring light hydration with a citrus herbal twist.
