Create Flavored Water with Citrus Peels

Gather Materials

Collect citrus peels from fruits like oranges, lemons, limes, or grapefruits. Make sure to thoroughly wash the fruits before peeling.

Prepare the Peels

Using a knife or vegetable peeler, carefully remove the peel from the citrus fruits, avoiding the white pith as much as possible. Cut the peels into strips or pieces as desired.

Add Peels to Water

Place the prepared citrus peels into a pitcher or a large jar filled with cold water. Use about one cup of peels for every two liters of water.

Infuse the Water

Allow the citrus peels to infuse in the water for at least 2 to 4 hours in the refrigerator. For a stronger flavor, you can let it infuse overnight.

Serve and Enjoy

Once the water is infused to your desired strength, serve it over ice and enjoy your refreshing citrus-flavored water.
