Flavored Water with Orange and Basil

Instructions

  1. Wash and rub the orange with hot water, cut half into slices. Wash the basil, approx. 3 - 4 stalks, depending on size and aroma intensity.
  2. Put the basil and orange slices in a carafe and fill with approx. 1.5 liters of cold water. Let it steep in the fridge overnight.
  3. When the water is used up, the oranges can be refilled 1 - 2 times with fresh water. The basil quickly becomes unsightly, so it is better to replace it with fresh one for a new batch.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
