Chef's Tips

For a more intense flavor, you can lightly crush the mint leaves before adding them to the water. You can also add other fruits or vegetables such as slices of fresh ginger, goji berries, or raspberries to vary the flavors. Feel free to experiment and create your own personalized detox water blend!

Conservation

Keep your detox water in the refrigerator for a maximum of 3 to 4 days. After this time, it is best to prepare a fresh batch to preserve its freshness and benefits.
