Pear Clear Morning

Pear and mint give you a mild fruit water with a fresh-smelling finish. There’s no lemon here to make the flavor instantly sharp, so the quality and ripeness of the pear matter. Thin slices and a short rest help the fruit come through. Keep the mint in proportion; it’s easy to make mint water, but the pleasure of this one is noticing the pear too.

Ingredients

• 6 oz Cold water
• 1/4 cup Pear slices
• 5 leaf Mint leaves

Make it

1. Add the fruit and herbs to a glass. Gently press soft fruit or herbs to release their flavor.
2. Stir in the juice, any optional salt or sweetener, and the water. If using sparkling water, add it last and stir once.
3. Add ice if you like. Let infused water stand for 5 minutes for a fuller flavor.

Benefits

Pear and mint · refreshing fluids

Pear and mint makes room for more water in your day. The 6 oz base carries a mellow orchard sweetness without needing alcohol to give it character.

A different side of mint

There is a fresh, cooling aroma from the measured mint in the pear mixture, giving that ingredient a place without drowning out the other flavors.
