Bubbly Water with a Twist
Bubbly Water with a Twist
When you add citrus zest to bubbly water, it doesn’t make the water sweet, but it does give it the scent of the fruit, making it extra refreshing! Remember that you can still eat the fruit (or squeeze the juice) after you’ve removed the zest. It’ll be just as juicy and delicious as ever.
