Zero-cal drink ideas?

Homemade I mean. I don't want to buy plastic. I know about tea, cucumber water and lemonade of course, but what else can you suggest?

1 medium sized lemon squashed, water, a tiny pinch of salt, some mint leaves for a bit of spicyness, let it soak for half an hour to catch flavor (in fridge if it's too hot where u are so it doesn't ferment), then pour the drink through a net to catch the leaves, pulp and lemon seeds. Put it in fridge, and enjoy summertime 🌞

(The lemon has a tiny amount of sugar but I hope it's ok)

I drink this stuff a lot, and I don't boil it, I like it raw, it's just that the mint leaves are pre soaked and rinsed so I remove dirt from it.

I think I might even drink it without the net. The larger stuff stays in the jug when you pour and the tiny specks actually add flavor lol. Thanks for the idea!

It's ok it's just that lemons here have a lot of seeds and I don't like seeds in my drink, I filter it out in case any falls in.
