This recipe doesn't contain significant amounts of calories, carbohydrates, protein, or fat. The nutrition info below is based on nutritionix.com.
This beverage tastes best when chilled, so I wouldn't skip that step. However, if you use chilled water in the recipe, you can let the flavors meld for about 20 minutes instead of a full hour.
You can keep the water in the pitcher, covered and refrigerated, for up to two days.
