Flavored Water??

Do any of you flavor your water? I have a gallon pitcher I fill up with water at night and then I add a few herbal tea bags in so it's flavorful. I have tried to drink just water and I can't do it. I even tried fresh lemons and cucumbers but it always leaves a bitter taste in my mouth! When I have money (haha) I will get a ton of berries and freeze them to add to water for ice and flavoring.

I am always looking for new ideas though so I was wondering what you guys do, if you add something extra to your water to make it go down smoother :)

    Those sound like great ideas to me. I was never much of a water drinker until I went paleo. I bought one of those Brita water filter pitchers and now I love water. Filtered makes a huge difference in taste to me. I usually squeeze lemon in mine first thing in the morning, but actually just love the taste of pure water now. I'm going to try that berry idea though, it sounds brilliant. :)

    I do exactly that - although I warn you about using too many mint leaves- it only takes 1 or 2 for a big pitcher!

    I like berries, cucumber and lemon. I also love adding David's tea to let it sit (my fav right now is Pink Lemonade.

    Jalara - where do you get the David's tea? I've never heard of it but I LOVE pink lemonade!!

    Lenora - I had a Brita pitcher once but it irritated me, lol!! I have been thinking about getting one for the sink maybe, right now it's just tap water..... Also frozen berries are AMAZING in water. I usually do strawberries or raspberries, then once they are no longer frozen and your water taste yummy you get a nice little snack!

    I love strawberry water! I would pour 1/2 of a sparkling water bottle into my mason jar, fill with cut strawberries and let sit over night. Sparkly and strawberry! Ill still add it to my plain water and I love lemon slices in there too!

    soda stream water - and I just squeeze some lime into it. I'm going to try the mint leaves now.

    Freespirit, I really do love your ideas. I have some frozen mango and berries right now and I'm going to try this on the next really hot day. The Brita filter is annoying to me because I'm constantly having to fill it up, I drink so much water now. :)

    That's really the important thing, cheers to all of you for drinking your water! :)

    You won't be sorry! http://www.davidstea.com/
    You can order it online or they have little tea shops around in various places. Try it - it's addictive!
