Ingredients
- 12 ounces filtered water
- 1 slice of lemon + 1 strawberry (stem removed and sliced) + a few leaves of fresh basil
- OR
- 1 slice of lime + 2 slices of cucumber + a few leaves of fresh mint
- OR
- 1/2 slice of grapefruit + 2 blackberries + a small sprig of fresh thyme
- OR
- 1 slice of orange + 3 raspberries + a small sprig of fresh rosemary
- OR
- 1 slice of lemon + 2 slices of fresh ginger + 2 slices fresh turmeric + a small drizzle of honey or stevia (if desired)
Preparation
- Fill a glass or water bottle with 12 ounces of filtered water. Add any of the combinations of fruit, herbs or spices listed. Cover and refrigerate and allow to steep for a bit to enhance the flavors. Fruit may be consumed if desired, although the flavor of the fruit will weaken as the flavor of the water grows. You can make several at a time as they will be great for 3-4 days. Or feel free to make a big pitcher - just multiply the ingredients as desired.
- Feel free to make with sparkling water if you like fizzy drinks. Can also be steeped in hot water to make a tea - especially the lemon, ginger, turmeric and honey (if desired).
- Experiment with your own flavors and stay well-hydrated! Cheers!
