I am c&p what I found on another forum - anyone ever try this naturally flavored water? I'm going to give it a try.
Put a 3 or 4 torn/crushed spearmint leaves, 1 or 2 torn/crushed basil leaves in a pitcher with 2 qts. of water and leave it out on the counter for 30 minutes. Strain through a coffee filter and add about 1 tablespoon of honey.
I was afraid the basil would give it a strange taste but it was a really delightful lightly flavored water and it was not loaded with sweetners. The honey is such a small amount of sweetener for 2 quarts. that the calories would be negligible. I put mine in the fridge and sipped on it all afternoon.
