All Natural Flavored Water Recipes

I am such a huge fan of drinking water because of what it can do for the skin, the organs, the hair, and the mood - but what to do when water gets... boring? Easy! Flavored water! Stay away from the chemically-laden stuff at the store and make your own flavored water the easy way. I guarantee you're going to absolutely love these all natural flavored water recipes, and so will your friends and family!


Cucumber Water

This is the most crisp, refreshing, cooling, and energy-giving drink... and it's packed with vitamins and minerals!

Scrub an organic cucumber before peeling. Cut into 1/2" slices and place in a pitcher. Fill with cold spring water and steep for 1-2 hours. Serve chilled or over ice.

Citrus Water

Add fresh cut lemon, orange, lime, and mint to a pitcher of spring water. Steep for 1-2 hours and enjoy.

Berry Water Blend

Add any scrubbed and sliced berries you have on hand to your spring water. Strawberries, blueberries, cherries, raspberries, and blackberries make great options and they'll color the water to create a drink that looks as great as it tastes! Garnish with a wedge of orange and a sprig of fresh picked mint to really dress it up.

Get Creative!

You can make flavored water with just about anything you can eat! Fruits are always a great option as are some veggies like cucumbers. You can also add in herbs like mint, rosemary, ginger root, and stevia for more kick.

Enjoy!
