FRUIT PEELS
Level 1
Fruity Spa Water
Yields ½ gallon
- a Marlene Samuels creation -
Thirst-quenching and never boring, this hydrating drink is a nice way to get some extra Vitamin C into your diet, without artificial flavorings or chemicals. Citrus acid also makes this drink last longer in the fridge – about 4 days - because acid is a natural preservative. Need more reasons to drink Fruity Spa Water?

½ cup fruit peels (apple, citrus peels such as grapefruit, lemon* or orange)
½ gallon water
- Scrub exterior of fruit under clean running water thoroughly to remove any residue.
- For citrus fruits, peel in long thin strips with a vegetable peeler in one continuous strip. Take care to leave white pith attached to fruit, using only topmost layer of peel. Store peeled fruit in a plastic bag for later use to avoid it drying out.
- Fill container with fresh water, leaving 3” from the top. Add peels. Replace cap and screw on tightly. Shake vigorously several times to release flavor.
- Store in fridge for approximately one hour before serving. Use within two or three days.
* Lemon peels produce the strongest citrus flavor
