lithuanian citrus refresher

I was jet-lagged and thirsty. My first taste of this drink was heaven (in Vilnius). So once I got back to the States, I made this recipe my own, based on the flavor profile of my memory, the colors in the pitcher, and the fruit in the store. My version is a moderately low sugar drink (the original had mango and added cane sugar).

  • 40 oz (or so) pitcher

  • 1 blood orange

  • 1 lime

  • 1 red grapefruit

  • 10-20 drops liquid stevia (or 1 tablespoon dried, in pouch)

    Carefully chop all fruit, including rind, into small pieces and place in pitcher. Add water to cover all fruit and place in fridge overnight (if using dried stevia leaves, place in reusable teabag and add to pitcher). Taste in the morning and add liquid stevia as desired! You can refill the pitcher with water until flavor fades. Serve topped with a sprig of fresh mint!
