Infused Water Flavor Ideas
As outdoor temps start to rise, so does our need to be drinking more water. However, if plain water doesn’t appeal to you, why not try infused water. Add thin slices or small cubes of washed fruit or veggies, or even herbs into a container of cool water. Let the water sit in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the flavors to infuse, and enjoy. Hydration never tasted so good.
