Anyone tried this?
Refrigerate 4-6 hours it says where I took this pic, but quantities? And some looks like they have ice....
Look soooo good!

    Mmmmmmm pineapple mint! Sounds yummy! I just use lemon :ohwell: But these sound wicked! I have to mention, though: if you're going to do this, I would SUGGEST using organic produce. Apparently the pesticides seep out of the produce and into the water. With my lemon water, I just squeeze the juice into the water rather than leaving the rind in.

    I'm going to try this, though. Thanks for the post!

    I did the raspberry lime one. I completely forgot to kind of crush the raspberries first though. It ended up being a pink hued lime flavored mess. I'm definitely looking forward to trying some other flavors.

    o.O yummy!
  • I always throw a clean lemon wedge in my water bottle, gives a little flavor and helps keep the bottle clean!

    I'm sure you can find someone to sell you water made from only the finest hand-selected hydrogen and oxygen molecules, all "left-spinning" ones because, of course, those activate the chi and promogulate good health by accelerating the rate at which negatively-charged leptonic energy leave the chakras, meaning that you can do an orange cleanse rather than resorting to the full-on grapefruit cleanse.

    They look good! :) After drinking mostly water, sometimes other things taste so sweet. It's nice to add just a touch of flavor. :)

    Regarding the water making... I remember seeing a magazine once that had a lady who looked like Martha Stewart on the cover. It said "How to make your own drinking water." ha That's what your post reminded me of. ha

    Glad I saw this from another thread. This sounds great for those later in the evening tennis nights on a toasty Texas evening.

    Cucumber slices in water is very refreshing. I never would have thought it until I ran across it at a spa in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.
  • - 2 liter jug.
    - One whole apple, sliced
    - One cinnamon stick


    Put apple & cinnamon stick at the bottom. Fill half way with ice. Then add water. Let it sit in the fridge for at least ten minutes. Enjoy!


    I use 1 gallon and double the rest. Change the apples and cinnamon every other refill of the jug. It's suppose to boost your metabolism too. :)
  • I'd heard of doing cucumbers and lemon. Mint too!
