LEMON-LIME-ADE RECIPE
• 1 36 oz. pitcher of filtered water
• 1 tray of ice
• 1 lemon
• 1 lime
• 4 tbsp. agave nectar (Found in the health section of most grocery stores.)
• 2 drops Lemon Essential Oil
• 2 drops Lime Essential Oil
• 1 box raspberries

Thinly slice lemons and limes. Add filtered water, Essential Oils, and agave nectar to the pitcher. Stir until the nectar is dissolved. Add half of the lemon and lime slices (reserve the other half to garnish glasses with).

Add ice. Stir until ice and fruit slices are evenly distributed throughout the pitcher. Gently add in a handful of raspberries to garnish the beverage.

Refrigerate and serve once cold. Make sure to stir before serving so that the infused water is evenly mixed (oils naturally float to the top when left to settle).
