INGREDIENTS
- 1 large grapefruit
- 2-3 sprigs of fresh rosemary

- Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
- Cover the pitcher or jar and refrigerate it for at least 2-4 hours, or overnight for a more intense flavor.

TIPS
- Use fresh and ripe grapefruit for the best flavor. You can choose pink, red, or white grapefruit depending on your preference.

- If you prefer a stronger flavor, you can squeeze some grapefruit juice into the water before adding the slices.
- Feel free to customize the water by adding other ingredients like cucumber slices, lemon wedges, or mint leaves for additional flavor variations.
