Five Creative Ways to Flavor Water
Water in the
summer months is more important than ever. Because of the summer heat, we have
a tendency to sweat more and even lose more water through our breath. The best
way to prevent dehydration is to drink even when you are not thirsty. Thirst
may be a sign that you are already dehydrated.
Basil and Blueberries
Rinse basil
and blueberries under cool running water. Crush blueberries and place into a
water pitcher. Leave the basil on the sprig and add to the water. Allow to sit
for a few hours in the refrigerator. The longer it sits, the greater the taste.
The infused water can keep up to three days and you may reuse the fruit by
adding more water to the pitcher.
Cucumber and Mint
Rinse the
mint and cucumbers under cool running water. Thinly slice the cucumbers and
place into a water pitcher. The greater the surface area of the cucumbers, the
quicker the water will be flavored. Leave the mint on the sprig and add to the
water. Allow to sit for a few hours in the refrigerator. The longer it sits,
the greater the taste. The infused water can keep up to three days and you may
reuse the fruit by adding more water to the pitcher.
Watermelon
Cube the
watermelon and place into a water pitcher. The greater the surface area of the
fruit, the quicker the water will be flavored. Leave the mint on the sprig and
add to the water. Allow to sit for a few hours in the refrigerator. The longer
it sits, the greater the taste. The infused water can keep up to three days and
you may reuse the fruit by adding more water to the pitcher.
Strawberries and Sugar-free Lemonade
Rinse
strawberries under cool running water. Using a cheese grater, grate the
strawberries into a water pitcher. Squirt in a few drops of sugar-free lemonade.
You can use products like Crystal Light or Dasani Drops. For another
alternative you can add thinly sliced lemons instead. Allow to sit for a few
hours in the refrigerator. The longer it sits, the greater the taste. The
infused water can keep up to three days and you may reuse the fruit by adding
more water to the pitcher.
Infused Ice Cubes
Looking to
keep cool? Add any well cut fruit and herb mix directly to your ice cube tray.
Pour boiling water over; allow cooling before placing it into the freezer. By
heating the water up before freezing it, it penetrates the fruit, vegetable, or
herb to release the flavorful aromatic compound—giving you the most amount of
flavor from each cube.
HAPPY DRINKING…WATER THAT IS!
