My Favorite Way to Enjoy Water
While I always start my day with a homemade latte and I love sipping on mint lemonade on a hot summer afternoon, the main source of my hydration comes from water. But given that the average person should consume a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day, plain old water can get boring fast.
My number one way to combat this is to make fruit-infused water. The process of making infused water couldn't be easier, and flavored water goes down a lot easier! Not to mention, there is something about drinking infused waters that makes me feel all fancy.
Happy Drinking! xo Kristen
Recipe Highlights
What You Need to Make Fruit-Infused Water
- Water: If you have well water, hard water, or tap water that has an aftertaste, use filtered, or distilled water for the best results.
- Glass Jar: You do not need a special infusion water bottle to infuse water, but I do suggest using a glass jar, such as a mason jar, as some types of plastic can leach flavors into the water.
- Fruits: Melons, berries, kiwi, and citrus fruits are all good options. Apples, pears, and peaches do not seem to do well in terms of infusing water with flavor. And I love the flavor of cucumbers (yes, cucumbers are technically a fruit!)
Herbs (optional): If you would like add herbs to your fruit-infused water for another layer of flavor. Lav
