I am surprised more people don't do this. We also cut fresh fruits along with mint leaves and put in the refrigerator. My favorite is cantaloupe with mint. Nice fresh flavor.
I leave a pitcher of water in the fridge sometimes with various things in it. I have left fruit, lemon or lime or orange slices, mint, cucumber, lemongrass, and ginger in it before in different combinations. My mint plant has gone nuts lately though and I have mostly been using that.
My wife even likes to put basil in water...now THAT I do not like. Flavoring water with fresh fruit/mint/ginger etc. is by faaaarrr a way better alternative to soda and corporate sugar water, er I mean fruit juice. We have been doing it for years.
I just finished a Muskoka brewery summerweiss. I'm now drinking the cause and effect blonde by nickel brook brewing co. It's beer night! I'm enjoying all my choices.
