Here are some great ways of how to make delicious infused flavored water recipes instead of buying fancy chemically drinks that can take a bite out of your budget.
Finding ways to naturally give filtered water some flair with different fruits and herbs can actually help you drink more water therefore staying hydrated. Most headaches that people are pained by is because they are dehydrated and don’t realize it.
I love carrying around my blue mason jar with my infused water…. I do it proudly too !
Here is our four favorite combinations and instructions on how to make them:
Minty Cucumber Lime
1/2 a cucumber, sliced
1/2 a lime, sliced
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
Strawberry-Lemon with Basil
1/2 cup sliced strawberries
1/2 a lemon, sliced
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
Watermelon Mint
1 cup cubed watermelon
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
Pineapple-Orange with Ginger
1/2 cup cubed pineapple
1/2 an orange, sliced
1 tablespoon freshly-grated ginger
What You’ll Need:
1-quart jars
Water
Wooden Spoon
Agave or another sweetener (optional)
What To Do:
- Choose which recipe you’re making — or come up with your own combination — and gather all of the ingredients.
- Place the fruit, herbs, and/or spices in the bottom of one of the glass jars, and muddle with a wooden spoon. (That basically means mash up the fruit in the bottom of the jar to release some of the flavor-filled juices.)
- Fill the jar with water and give it a taste. (You can also fill the jar with seltzer water for a fizzy treat.) If you’d like something a bit sweeter, try adding some agave (and mix until dissolved).
- Enjoy as-is or refrigerate overnight for maximum flavor.
