If you’re on a mission to drink more water, but struggle with the monotony of plain old H20… fear not!
The solution to hassle-free hydration might be easier than you think... and with any luck, already nestling in your fruit bowl!
Infused water is a simple idea that involves using various combinations of fruits, herbs, and even vegetables, to help take the edge off water’s inherent plainness, and to incentivise more regular top ups!
In addition to giving water a different flavour dimension, infusing with fruits also lends some trace levels of vitamins, which counts for something if you’re striving to up the antioxidants!
Team these benefits with the natural reduction in sugar that comes from having infusions in place of other soft drinks, and what you’ve got a winning formula for well-being, if ever there was one!
To make infused water, simply add your chosen fruit, vegetables and/or herbs to a jug or glass of water, and infuse for up to 12 hours, preferably in the refrigerator.
Experimentation is highly recommended, since it is often the unlikeliest of combinations that produce the best results!
