Homemade Vitamin Water

 

Fruit and Herbs

Water

Ice

Cut up fruit into small chunks and place them at bottom of a jar or pitcher. 

• Use a wooden spoon to smooth the fruit and release some of the juices. If using herbs gently bruise the leaves, do not pulverize them to pieces. 

Add the ice on top and fill the remainder of the jar or pitcher with water. Allow the fruit and herbs to infuse the water for 3-4 hours before drinking if you are looking for more flavor. It is definitely subtle in flavor without the sweetness, you will be disappointed if you are expecting an explosion of flavor!

Say goodbye to soda and juice, with these suggested refreshing, healthy flavors!
