How to Make Hit The Spot Lemon Water

  1. Add 12-15 thin lemon slices to a large pitcher (approx. 2-quart capacity).
  2. Gently muddle 1 1/2 cups fresh mint leaves between your palms to release their aroma.
  3. Add the muddled mint leaves to the pitcher with the lemon slices.
  4. Pour 8 cups of cold water into the pitcher.
  5. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for 1 to 8 hours (8 hours recommended for optimal flavor).
  6. Strain the lemon-mint water through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean pitcher, discarding the solids.
  7. Divide the remaining lemon slices and 1/4 cup of fresh mint or basil sprigs equally among 6 to 8 glasses or canning jars.
  8. Add 1 cup of ice cubes to each glass or jar.
  9. Fill each glass or jar with the strained lemon-mint water.
