When the weather gets hot and humid. A refreshing chilled glass of water does the work.
Water becomes inviting and refreshing with infused fruits or vegetables, like sliced cucumber. It is also low calorie, fruits give the water flavor and as they say, " water is good for you". Like cucumber helps to detoxify and is anti inflammatory. Adding berries to the water helps lower cholesterol, promote bowel movement and is anti inflammatory. They also provide antioxidants.
At a spa or restaurant (hotel) you will usually come across a nice pitcher or jar that is transparent and has colorful fruits or cucumber in them. I have added slices of orange, apple, berries to make it colorful and interesting.
Fruit- infused water

1. It is as easy as it looks. Try to use a tall, transparent water pitcher.
2. Next, clean and cut the fruits of your choice.
3. Put some ice cubes on the bottom of the pitcher. Add chilled water and preferably keep it in fridge for couple of hours, before enjoying it.
4. I have used fresh fruits, but you can also use frozen fruits of your choice.
5. One can also add 1 or 2 cinnamon sticks, or some fresh herbs of your choice, like lavender, rosemary, etc. Please remember these herbs can be strong so add accordingly.
Do try it out and share with me what else could one add to the water. Thanks.
