Raspberry, Ginger and Thai Basil Fruit Water recipe

Raspberry, ginger and Thai basil

 

Fruit water is our simplest summer cooler (we’ll be sharing more tomorrow) and our favorite.  No sugar, no sweeteners, no chemicals and no calories, just refreshing summer fruit and cold water.  You will be shocked at how much fruit and herb flavor seeps into your Fruit Water as it sits in the fridge.
