We all know to drink lots of water, and we all know water is boring. Many will reach for cheap (expensive) imitations full of artificial flavors, ie. chemicals, dyes and poisons, or you can get creative and make your own flavored water.
Slicing up fruit and adding it to a tall drink of water can liven up the flavor a bit, but I prefer, especially in the summer months, a little more pizzazz. Gather up different combinations of fruits and fresh herbs and allow them to soak in a big jug of water. Whatever sounds good, probably will be.
My most recent batch was a combo of fresh mint, frozen raspberries, blueberries and blackberries and some cute little key limes.
Found these little key limes at the farmers market. I sliced the leftovers in half and threw them in the freezer for yummy ice cubes.
Throw everything in a big water jug and just let it sit. The longer it sits, the stronger the flavor. If you are anything like me, you are wondering what this taste like with tequila in it. Pretty damn good.

I’m totally trying this! It’s hard to get me to drink enough water but I honestly think if I had a pitcher of this made you’d have to pry my hands off.
Huh, I’ve never considered making my own before! I’m definitely going to keep this.
People are really impressed when you have it on hand and everyone loves it, Great for BBQs and whatnot but I just keep a jog in the fridge so I drink water all day
