A Recipe for 'Sassy Water'

It's actually time for refreshing drinks here in the Northeast. Who knew? Well, I stumbled across this recipe whihc might be just the thing--it sounds delightful and uplifting. From Prevention.com. It's part of their unfortunately named "Flat Belly Diet" (bellies are not meant to be completely flat! They're soft--even with a sixpack--and that's ok!). I found the actual recipe on FoodieMama.com. You can drink it even if you are not aiming to shrink your belly.
