Found these great ideas for flavored water at the Nancy Creative blog and I absolutely LOVE the use of citrus and fruit to water! Talk about refreshing... It's like sunshine in a glass! These a great, healthy and smart alternatives to the sugary sweet carbonated sodas and fruit juices.
Add a slice of your favorite citrus to a tall glass of ice water. Try lemon, lime, or orange slices. Or combine slices of lemon and lime…orange and lime…or try all three together!
Fresh mint is always a great addition to a glass of ice water. Combine lemon slices with fresh herbs in your water. Try lemon with mint, rosemary, thyme, or sliced ginger root.
Cucumbers are great in water, too! Slice up a large cucumber and add it to a pitcher of water…it’s really refreshing. You can also try cucumber with some fresh thyme added in. Or cucumber slices with lemon or orange slices.
If you want a more intense flavor to your glass of water, squeeze the citrus and/or twist the herbs you are using before you add them to your glass.
Besides lemons, oranges, and limes, you can try adding other kinds of fruit to your glass or pitcher of water…a small handful of your favorite berries (or mixed berries) is a nice addition to a glass of ice water. Other fruits you can try alone or in combination are: watermelon, cantaloupe, mango, pineapple, grapefruit, grapes, and kiwi.
Thirsty yet?
