Fruit Infused Water Recipes for Summer

Are you a water drinker? If you are, do you drink the recommended 8 glasses of water a day? I’ll be honest, I do not like water. It’s plain, flavorless, not carbonated and flat out boring. However, recently I’ve discovered a way to give water flavor and even make it beautiful. Dare I say that I’ll even drink 8 glasses a day if prepared in my new found way. I’m talking about infusing water with fruits and herbs to bring it to life…or at least make it more interesting and flavorful.

Today I have a bunch of varieties that are easy, beautiful and FULL of flavor.

Strawberry Lime Cucumber and Mint Water – Doesn’t that sound refreshing? Make a big pitcher of this recipe and set it out while you’re lounging by the pool.

Lemon Raspberry Water – Drinking flavor infused water is also an excellent way to stay hydrated on those hot summer days. Lemon Raspberry Water is the perfect mix of tart and sweet.

Blueberry Orange Water – Adding oranges to your water is an excellent way to add a little vitamin C to your diet.

Cucumber Mint Water – Did you know cucumbers have a bunch of health benefits? From aiding in digestion to relieving bad breath, cucumbers are an excellent addition to your infused water.

Pineapple Cucumber Mint Water – I know this one is very similar to the one above but, I wanted to show you that you can add an additional fruit to the mix and create something all new for your taste buds. Pick a fruit, any fruit and add it to any combination!

Peach Blackberry Thyme Water – Use a sparkling water to really change it up!

Lemon Mint Water – If you aren’t a fan of sweet drinks at all, this infused water is for you. Lemon and mint combined create a refreshing drink with just enough tartness. Best part, once you’ve drank all of your first batch, you can refill the water and muddle the fruit and mint a bit to make more.

Cucumber Strawberry Pink Grapefruit Water – This one, to me, SCREAMS Summer! Look at all of those colors. Imagine the flavor packed into one tall glass.

SO many flavor combinations can be created with fresh fruits and herbs. {Maybe even vegetables?} Use your imagination. Let your taste buds be your guide. What flavor combination will you come up with for your infused water?? Tell us about it on our Facebook page or in the comments!
