Fruit can be added to water for a tasty and visual treat.

Without drinking enough water, our skin, hair, nails and health suffer. However, sometimes water seems so dull. Drink this easy to make spa potion to give water more flavor and appeal. You'll look younger and feel better.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

A pitcher
Water
Fresh or frozen fruit
Fresh herbs (optional)

Step 1

Plain water is a thing of the past.

Fill a pitcher a fifth to a quarter of the way with any combination of fresh or frozen fruit and fresh herbs if desired. Some combos to try:

- Cantaloupe, pear with a tsp. of cinnamon
- Watermelon and apple with mint
- Strawberries, blueberries and honeydew with basil
- Orange and pineapple with parsley
Step 2

Add ice and fill the pitcher with water - either still or sparkling. Ice is not necessary if you use frozen fruit. Let sit for at least an hour in the fridge or at room temperature if you are space challenged in your fridge like me.
Step 3

Pour into a glass and drink throughout the day. The fruit and herbs make the water flavorful and add their individual health benefits. For more ideas on the best herbs and fruit to address your concerns, check out a book on herbal remedies.

Tips & Warnings

If you have fruit that is beginning to go soft, freeze it in a freezer bag and use to flavor and cool the water.
Cucumbers are a very refreshing water in the summer.
If you really want to indulge, float edible flowers on top of your glass or pitcher
