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.

    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.

    Freshly picked chocolate mint from my garden...my current favorite

    Strawberries, blueberries, watermelon, cantaloupe...

    Lemon balm, lemon thyme, pineapple weed, chamomile, heck, even rose petals when I'm feeling fancy...

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

    I think flavored water is gross!
