How to Flavor Water

You probably already know the importance to getting enough water particularly during the hot summer months but sometimes plain water can be a bit boring. Although you can buy flavored water at the grocery store, it can be expensive. The simplest solution is to flavor you own water. Here are some ways to flavor water.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Add a small amount of your favorite fruit juice to water. Orange juice, grapefruit juice, cranberry juice, grape juice, pomegranate juice, acai berry juice, blueberry juice, and pineapple juice all work well.
2. Squeeze lemon or lime juice into your water to create a fresh tasting citrus water.
3. Add Matcha green tea powder to water to create green tea flavored water. Shake well to completely dissolve the powder and add the sweetener of your choice. You'll get all the benefits of drinking green tea. If you can't find Matcha powder locally, it can be purchased at http://www.healanything.com.
4. Add a few drops of rosewater to your water bottle to add a slightly sweet, delicate taste to your water.
5. Add a little unsweetened Koolaid mix or Crystal Light to your water for extra flavor.
6. Add some fresh mint leaves to flavor your water.
7. Use a small amount of flavored coffee syrups to your water.
8. Add fresh fruit or vegetable slices to your water. Cucumber is a good vegetable choice for a light, refreshing flavored water.

Tips & Warnings

• Try any of the above flavorings with seltzer water or club soda for a "fizzy" alternative.
• Use filtered water to reduce the level of impurities.
