Herbal Lemon-Lime Mint Water (Vegan, Gluten-Free)

I love handmade fresh herbal waters in the spring time, such as this Herbal Lemon-Lime Mint Water. These beverages are much more sustainable (no producing, bottling, and transporting beverages across the country), and they are pennies on the dollar, compared to pricey bottled beverages—especially if you have lemon and lime trees and mint plants, as do I! Before you think that’s out of your reach, consider your growing season. If you live in a warmer climate with mild winters, growing citrus trees can be a cinch. The USDA indicates you can grow citrus in zones 9-11. And what’s even easier is growing herbs growing in your garden, which can be done in nearly every growing region in the warmers months. You can even grow herbs in a pot on your doorstep, balcony, or windowsill. This can really put healthy, plant-based beverages like this recipe within your fingertips.
