Infused Water with Mint

We love mints over here. They can be aggressive growers but there are SO many uses for them! From health benefits to natural insect deterrent.  But our favorite reason to grow mint: infused water and I'll teach you how!

First off we offer the following varieties: Spearmint, Mojito Mint, Peppermint, Curly Mint, Chocolate Mint, Apple Mint, Pineapple Mint, Orange Mint, Strawberry Mint, Banana Mint, Lemon Mint, Lime Mint, Grapefruit Mint and Pear Mint. 

Mints do exceptionally great in a large pot or even a hanging basket. They are perennials with little care that can take full sun to part shade. It's true, it can be hard to kill mint! I have 6 different pots of mint on my patio. They make an easy planter that fills up quickly and even attracts pollinators when in bloom.

Infused water is a great way to stay hydrated during these summer months without packing on the calories. Heres my go to infused water recipe and the mints truly add such a great flavor!!

Mint Infused Water Recipe:

-Place 1 sprig of mint  into a glass
-Muddle the mint with the back of a spoon to help release flavors
-Fill the glass with 2 cups of water
-Place in the fridge for at least one hour
-Drink and enjoy

Add fresh fruit or cucumbers for more added flavor!

The combinations are endless!! And I would love to hear what your favorite will be.
My personal favorite: a few fresh strawberries with strawberry mint.
