SPA WATER WITH LEMON AND MINT
Fill a glass or pitcher half way up with peppermint. Then add enough lemon slices to almost fill the pitcher. As you put the mint and lemon in, smoosh them with a spoon to release healthful oils and juices. Fill with water let infuse at least 30 minutes, sweeten with Stevia or honey, and enjoy. This drink is refillable!
