Summer's Approaching-Stay Hydrated with Infused Water

Summer is quickly approaching. If you are tired of plain water try some of these infused water recipes.

The benefit of infused water is it is healthier than juice with nearly the same flavor and there are endless possibilities.

Watermelon Basil

Add about 2 cups of finely chopped fresh watermelon (without rind) to a gallon size glass jar. Add 15 leaves of muddled basil and filtered water to fill. Store in refrigerator and allow at least 4 hours to infuse.

Cucumber Mint

Thinly slice one cucumber. Peel if it isn’t organic! Add the sliced cucumbers to a ½ gallon glass jar, add 8 muddled fresh mint leaves, and fill with filtered water. Stir gently and place in refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Grape Orange

The hands-down kid favorite at our house. Place 2 cups of halved organic grapes into a gallon size glass jar. Add one orange, thinly sliced with rind on. Refrigerate overnight for best flavor.
