I'm sure many of you reading this have recently kicked off a new health goal for this year, so kudos to you! Anytime is a good time to jumpstart your health, and drinking more water is one of the most basic ways to do it! But if you ask me, plain ol' water can be a bit dull. I'm a huge fan of citrus water, but there's so much more you can do to make water delish! Here are my top 10 ways of flavoring water!
NOTE: Each of these recipes make 2 quarts.10. ALL CITRUS - Slice 1 orange, 1 lime, 1 lemon into rounds, then cut the rounds in half. Add to jar and proceed with muddling, add ice & water.
9. RASPBERRY LIME - Quarter 2 limes; with your hands, squeeze the juice into the jar, then throw in the squeezed lime quarters. Add 2 cups raspberries. Muddle, add ice & water.
8. PINEAPPLE MINT - Add a sprig of mint to the jar (you can throw in the whole sprig; or, remove the leaves from the sprig, if you prefer to have the mint swimming around and distributing in the jar). Muddle the mint. Add 2 cups pineapple pieces, muddle, add ice & water.
7. BLACKBERRY SAGE - Add sage sprig to jar and muddle. Add 2 cups blackberries; muddle, add ice & water.
6. WATERMELON ROSEMARY - Add rosemary sprig to jar & muddle. Add 2 cups watermelon cubes; muddle, add ice and water.
5. CUCUMBER, LEMON & MINT - Add a sprig of mint to the jar and muddle. Add 1/2 sliced cucumber & 1 sliced lemon; muddle, add ice & water.
4. ORANGE PINEAPPLE - Add 1 sliced orange and 2 cups of pineapple chunks to the jar; muddle, add ice and water.
3. LEMON LAVENDAR - Add 1 sprig of lavendar to the jar, muddle. Add 1 sliced lemon, muddle, add ice and water.
2. STRAWBERRY MINT - Add a sprig of mint to the jar and muddle. Add 2 cups sliced strawberries, muddle, add ice and water.
1. GOOD OL' FASHIONED LEMON WATER - Add 2-3 sliced lemons to a jar. Muddle, then add ice and water.
