    What do you put in your water?

    Morning y'all.
    I drink a solid 3L of water a day, but I want to switch it up and try adding some flavors/fruit to my water every once and a while.

    Do you guys have any ideas? Anything you use?

    :smile:

      Maybe not the healthiest route, but I use the crystal light liquid. It has 0 calories and they're really good! I do sometimes use lemon, but at work I just keep a few of the crystal light drops in my desk.

      Ice and a lemon slice if I'm feeling really crazy

      I like several things that have been mentioned, ginger root, mint, citrus, cucumbers.

      In addition, I find strawberries or raspberries a great addition.

      I also get dried hibiscus flowers from a Latin market. Gives a great color and tartness. Red Zinger gets most of its zing from them.

      Had someone give me large lemons she brought back from her winter home in AZ, I juiced them and froze into ice cubes, they were a fun addition. Might start doing hibiscus ice cubes too.

      Fun with water. I don't bother tacking my water in take, I drink a LOT of water daily, if anything too much some days.

      I like my water extra cold so I don't taste whatever the Brita fails to mop up.

      When I'm feeling creative, I'll add some solidified dihydrogen monoxide.

      I dig the Appletini Crystal Light packets. I make it super weak, though, cause I don't like strong flavors in my water.

      A straw.
      And when I'm feeling REALLY wacky, ICE!

      ^^^^ Love this.. I only log my "plain water" and very rarely drink anything but water.

      Blueberries and basil
      Raspberries and rosemary
      Strawberries and mint
      Orange peel and vanilla bean

      I usually do a fruit and an aromatic together. I choose my flavors in the morning and make a gallon for the whole day.

      I use to drink sparking flavored water because I did not like water and that got me addicted to water so now I just drink it plain but sparking water sometimes as a special treat. I still can't believe I went from hating water to having to have water with me constantly

      Ice and/or a straw...

      I think flavored water is gross!
