Infuse your water with flavor
Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours
First it was vitamin-enhanced, flavored water. Now herb- and fruit-infused water is all the rage. These refreshing concoctions elevate water from ho-hum to hooray (they’re a great choice for parties or showers, too).
Today, challenge yourself to make some homemade infused water. Here are some ideas:
• Add sprigs of rosemary; a bunch of crushed mint leaves; lemon, orange or cucumber slices; or cut up fresh strawberries.
Refrigerate for several hours (ideally, overnight) for maximum flavor.

I add cucumbers, lemon, orange or apple slicesm, mint.
Dropped some of those great strawberries into the bottle of water. Note: they also make great ice cubes if you freeze them whole.
My spa offers water with cucumber slices after all services. The first time I had it was a couple of years ago and I fell in love with it! I try to keep some in my fridge at all times. I also do lemons, limes, or the two together. I had never thought to use different herbs, but I will definately be giving it a try!!!
Live well, Love much, Laugh often!!!
I’ll try one tomorrow.
A slice of cucumber is surprisingly good in a glass of cold water
lemon, lime and mint is a good combo
I make a 2 galloon pitcher with one teaspoon of ginger, 12 mint leaves, one medium lemon sliced and one cucumber sliced. Delicious!!!! Sometimes I change it up with different combinations.
i have a bunch of lemons sitting in the refrigerator right now…just need to find a pitcher or an empty juice bottle.
