a few chunks of watermelon and a sprig of fresh mint!
I like my local tap water so I don't really do infused...but one of my good friends always serves it at dinners she hosts and it's so good!!0 -
I love Lemon, Lime, Cucumber and either Basil or Mint leaves...Mmmm!!0

lemons, lime, oranges & mint (I find that the lime gets bitter after a while so I don't always use it)
strawberries & blueberries I have made this with basil too
watermelon and basil
apples and cinnamon
cucumbers and lemon
Mix and match. Find what works for you
I have a friend who infuses water with essential oils and it is really delicious. You have to be really careful that they are food quality though.
This helps me a lot and really the possibilities are endless. Get more water into your body it really does help. I make a batch up at the beginning of the day and that helps me keep track of how much water I'm drinking.0 -

Check this out. She makes ice cubes with fruits and herbs. Pretty cool idea.

You can go as simple as adding a splash of lemon or lime juice (or a splash of each) to a glass of water. I do that quite often when I want something more than plain water. Really, you could consider unsweetened tea or coffee to be infused water (strongly infused water). I drink both unsweetened sometimes for a change of pace.
I really got into drinking infused water last summer as my drink of choice. I was amazed how much weight I lost just making that one change. All of these suggestions are good options for infusing water.
I will say one thing about using watermelon. It is good, but it seems to break down faster than other fruits and herbs. At least, that was my experience. It seemed to become slimy rather quickly. I would give it less time to infuse than other fruits and herbs for that reason.0 -

OH!!! I never thought of putting basil leaves in my water. Must try that, because I'm obsessed with fresh basil in everything from salads, stir fries, pizza, to my eggs in the AM.0 -
Lemon and cucumber are my go to (separately).0

Thank you all for the ideas!! I will definitely be checking into the different varieties.0

Lemon or lime are quick and easy. Have you seen True Lemon? It's crystallized flavor packets, no sugar added. They are great to have on hand while out and about.
I typically do strawberry infused , or lemon and strawberry. My trick is using frozen fruits, so it doubles as ice. This is great because I hate room temp water, it's easier for me to drink when iced.0 -
Lemon and mint mmmm.0

Steep some fresh cut ginger(about a half inch chunk or so) in some water add some Stevia and refrigerate. Ginger is great for joints!0

They're also quite good together, though I do less cucumber and more lemon; cucumber tends to overpower the lemon for me.0
