Infused Water Recipes

JulesKaotic249

I have the hardest time drinking straight water.. I have tried a couple of Infused Water Recipes and noticed I was drinking more water than Soda when I had it in the fridge.. I have only tried Lemon/Cucumber and sometimes I add Mint to the Mix... What are your favorite recipes? I would love to try new ones!!

Yes water can be terrible can't it - I try to drink it as cold as possible which helps a lot
BUT

am very interested to try infused water

I've never done it before (in fact despite my advanced years this is even the first time I've heard of it)

How does one go about doing it ????

Here's an idea that may help...
1 glass or plastic pitcher - the simpler the better.
Any number of fresh, organic fruits, berries or citrus: (use whatever you like)
1 apple
1 lemon
1 orange
1 pear
4 large strawberries
Handful of raspberries
Handful of mint leaves
Fresh cold water
Personally, my favorite way to arrange the pitchers is to get sort of a theme going on. I might make one fruit water with all the berries and mint leaves, while another with the apples, pears, oranges, lemons, and mint leaves.
Make sure your fruit is well-rinsed; if you're using mint leaves, rinse those, too. Then you just cut large slices or thin wedges of each fruit- depending on how you look at it and place them in the pitcher of cold water. Leave the mint leaves whole.
You could even freeze other herbs or little flowers like violets in ice cubes and float those darling things in there. The possibilites are endless. Surprisingly, the water's flavor is very light with just a hint of refreshing fruit.
