Water…. we ALL know we need more of this. All of us!

To me water is.. watery.. it’s boring. It tastes like nothing. I have really really been trying to increase my water intake but in order to do so, I needed to make it taste good. How can you make water taste good? Everyone has put lemon in their water at home.. but it doesn’t do much for me! TheseFruit Flavored water recipes are sure to help you get your full water intake every day!

I have seen so many versions of fruit infused flavored water, Monica over at The Yummy Lifehas some of my favorites! There are also great ideasfound at52 Kitchen Adventures& Nancy Creative!

I decided to get my own creative juices going and come up with some of my own flavor combinations… not only has my water intake grown, my entire FAMILY drinks more water now! My girls love their flavored water and are very happy to have a glass of this instead of soda! These are NOT sweet drinks like lemonade, they just have a hint of flavors of the items you add!

Each morning I’ve been filling a drink dispenser similar to this onewith lots of ice, my ingredients and water! We set it on the counter and everyone loves it! The top two favorites are the citrus kiss mixture and the strawberry basil! It’s great to play with your own combinations!

Note: The citrus peel (lemon) can become bitter if left too long. Once you are happy with the flavor of the Citrus Kiss water, you may like to remove the fruit.
