Infuse Your Water with the Taste of Summer

June 22, 2019

We absolutely love summer, but sometimes we need something extra refreshing to get us through these long hot summer days. You guessed it— infused water! This time of year when it is especially important for us to be drinking enough water, why not make it more exciting and delicious than ever? Here are some of our favorite infused water recipes to welcome in summer 2019!

 

Watermelon and Strawberry  

What could make you think of summer more than these two delicious fruits infused in fresh filtered water? Not only are they a great combo for your water, but they both have amazing health benefits! Strawberries are a great source of vitamin C and antioxidants! They also are good for your hair, bones, and skin and can prevent things such as cancer and strokes. They’re basically magic! Watermelon also does a lot for your body, including keeping your heart healthy and relieving pain in your muscles.

 

Lime and Cilantro

If you’re looking for something a little more unique, why not try this combination? There’s never been a better pairing in culinary history, so how could it not also be amazing in your water? Lime can aid in digestion and actually boost your immune system! Cilantro, uniquely, can help with anxiety and it also promotes a healthy brain!

 

Cucumber and Lemon

Need an at home spa day this summer? Let this fresh and citrusy water be the beginning of your inspiration! Cucumbers are for more than just puffy eyes on your spa day. They can help with weight loss and combat bad breath. Who knew? Lemons have numerous health benefits, but staying in the theme our spa day, did you know that they can prevent skin aging and help heal sun damage? What a perfect combination for your summer spa day!    

 

Berries and Mint

We’ll be honest, it doesn’t matter what kind of berries you use. Each is a perfect and refreshing pairing with mint for your filtered water! Berries in general are some of the best fruits for you, this is partially due to the fact that they tend to be very low sugar compared to other fruits. Combine that with the fact that they are rich in antioxidants and taste amazing— you really can’t go wrong. Mint has some unexpected benefits of it’s own, such as improving concentration and curing headaches!
