One of my favourite things about the spa is the fresh fruit-infused water they have on hand. Somehow a sip of cold, flavourful water brings me to my happy place, especially on a hot summer day. A couple weeks ago we shared some of the benefits of drinking more water. Hopefully, you have been chugging away and if not, we are here to give you some recipes to motivate you. There are endless combinations of fruit, herbs, and veggies that can be used in water but I’m going to share my two favourites!
Strawberry + Basil Infused Water
Ingredients
1 Pitcher of cold water
½ cup of strawberries (chop each strawberry into quarters)
¼ cup of fresh basil
Ice (optional)
Method
- Fill your pitcher with cold water and ice
- Add the chopped strawberries and basil, mix
- Refrigerate for 3 hours to allow for maximum flavour
- Drink and enjoy!
Watermelon + Mint Infused Water
Ingredients
1 Pitcher of cold water
½ Cup Cubed Watermelon
2-3 Sprigs of Mint
Ice (optional)
Method
- Fill your pitcher with cold water and ice
- Add the watermelon and mint, mix
- Refrigerate for 3 hours to allow for maximum flavour
- Drink and enjoy!
*Your pitcher can be refilled with fresh water (with the original fruit/veggies/herbs) up to 4 times in a 24 hour period*
I love making a variety of infused-waters especially when hosting! It's also one small detail that can be added to your day to make you feel like you’re at the spa even if your “to do” list is staring at you! Don’t be afraid to experiment. Try out different fruits/veggies/herbs to give your water the boost it needs. It’s not only tasty, it’s detoxifying, refreshing and hydrating! Enjoy!
