If you’re already sick of drinking plain water, I’m here to help! I love going to hotels when they offer you a refreshing infused water as soon as you walk through the door. You can make the same thing at home to keep you hydrated and happy all summer long. Find your favorite combination below, or try your own creation!
To get started, you’ll need a container or pitcher that holds a gallon of water. Make sure to thoroughly wash any fruits, veggies or herbs that you’ll be using in the infusion. Once made, these waters will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
