Flavored water. How do I log the nutrition information?

So I have been making my water a gallon at a time. I cut up things like cucumber, lemon, blackberries, and mint and stick them in the jug overnight with my water to flavor it. I dont eat the fruit but the fruit does add juices and things to the water.

How would I log this? Is it enough vitamins to be worth logging or should I just count it as water like I have been?

    I wouldn't bother, the amount of calories/vitamins etc it will add to the water would be negligible unless you'e actually squeezing the fruit into the water.

    I'd log it as water. However; I will be stealing this idea! I add lemon sometimes but loving the extra ideas!

    I wouldn't bother, unless someone comes up with a great idea, it's so hard to log accurately.
