Hype Up Your Hydration

From time to time, sodas and fruit juices are all good for cooling down during a summer day. But why go for just “good” when there’s a healthier, yummier, and even prettier option for your daily hydration?

Introducing infused water, made simply by soaking fruits, peels, herbs, or even edible flowers into regular drinking water, adding flavor and health benefits. It's tasty but with fewer calories, so you can enjoy your drink with zero guilt attached! 

Maximize your mixes with these dos and don’ts:  

DO be sure to soak your ingredients at least two hours before drinking to extract as much flavor and taste.  

DON’T use hot water. It’ll break down your ingredients faster, which might make you lose out on some nutrients you’d like to add into your drink.

Thirsty yet? Grab a glass or pitcher and relish these tasty and healthy infusions: 

Kiwi, cucumber, ginger, and mint—fresh, zesty, and packed with goodness of Vitamin C.

Rosemary, orange, and pear for a touch of earthiness and a ton of antioxidants.

Orange, lemongrass, and peach for a stress-busting aroma and an immunity boost.

A mellow blend that is all about boosting immunity and giving that distinct summer vibe, perfect for daydreaming about being by the beach.

Who would’ve thought that cool cucumber, zesty lemon, and cinnamon can make hydration taste—and smell—so good? 

This ultimate summer refresher is made with cherries, orange, and fresh mint for that added coolness that flows in every sip and sniff.

For a stress-relieving and fiber-rich treat, try a combination of guava, cloves, and anise.

Pro tip: Swap out regular water for carbonated water to get a fizzy kick with every sip.

Now, don’t be tied down by these 8 recipes. Raid your fruit bowl or herb garden and get creative with infused water. Your taste buds and body will thank you!
