As a rule, you should try to avoid as much as possible sugary drinks. Instead drink more WATER! Here are 8 homemade water infused recipes to help you keep drinking water.

1) THE CLASSICAL - Lemon/Cucumber:

Mix in a pitcher: 10 cups of water + 1 cucumber and a lemon, thinly sliced + 1/4 cup fresh finely chopped basil leaf + 1/3 of finely chopped fresh mint leaves. Leave in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

2) THE GRANITE - Strawberry/Lime or Raspberry/Lime:

Mix in a pitcher : 10 cups of water + 6 strawberries or raspberries and one thinly sliced lime + 12 finely chopped fresh mint leaves. Leave in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

3) THE DIGESTIVE - Fennel/Citrus:

First: infuse 1 to 3 grams of dried and crushed fennel in 150ml of boiling water for 5-10 minutes. Allow to cool. Mix in a pitcher: 10 cups of water + lemon juice (put the leftover lemon in the mix) + a small thinly sliced orange + 12 fresh chopped mint leaves + the infusion of fennel seeds. Leave in refrigerator overnight before serving.

4) THE ANTIOX - Blackberry/Sage:

Note that apart from the berries, sage leaves are one of the herbs with the highest antioxidant content.

7) THE TRADITIONAL - Apple/Cinnamon:

Mix in a pitcher : 10 cups of water + 1 cup of apple cut into cubes + 2 cinnamon sticks + 2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Leave in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

8.) THE ZINGIBIR - Ginger/Tea:

These sound yummy! I bought an infusing water bottle and have been lazy about making new things in the last month. I just need to make huge batches! Either way, great ideas!
