Making your own flavored water is easy and very inexpensive!
Before going to bed, fill a large pitcher, or half gallon Mason jars, with water and a combination of some of your favorite fresh or frozen fruits and herbs. The flavors will infuse overnight and will be ready for you in the morning. It will also get sweeter each day, especially if you add pineapple!
Have fun experimenting with lemon, lime or orange slices combined with raspberries, strawberries or kiwi.
Add several chunks of pineapple for a surprising sweetness.
Cucumber and mint or ginger can be refreshing, too!
Prep Smart Tip: If you prefer a less pronounced flavor, make ice cubes with fresh fruit like chunks of kiwi, berries, pineapple or peaches, and add those to individual glasses of water.
