For a sweeter drink, add a squeeze of lime or a touch of honey. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less jalapeño or remove it sooner. Try using different types of mint, such as spearmint or peppermint, to vary the flavor profile. This water can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Jun 23, 2025I found it a bit too spicy with a whole jalapeño, so I only used half next time. Perfect!
