A New Twist on Water

Are you having trouble meeting your daily water requirement? It’s understandable if you are bored with “plain old water”. Try adding some flavor to help you drink more and maybe even get you excited to drink it! Flavored waters are available in most local supermarkets but are quite expensive. You can create an at-home version for almost no cost!

If you want to stay away from additives or caffeine, add any of the following to your water:

• A twist of lemon or lime
• A small piece of fruit, such as honeydew
• A little unsweetened cranberry concentrate (can be found in health food stores)
• A slice of cucumber (a subtle, yet refreshing taste)
• A few mint leaves (“bruising” them a little to release the flavor)
• A lavender flower or other edible flowers (can add some relaxation to your drink)
• Herbal tea bags

If you don’t mind artificial sweeteners or other additives, try adding:

• A little diet cranberry juice (not “light”, but “diet”); can also be mixed with a bit of diet ale
• Crystal Light, or other sugar-free drink mixes
• Lemon or lime juice and artificial sweetener for a delightful, refreshing lemonade or limeade
