Feast Your Eyes on…Flavored Water! I’ve always liked drinking my water with a slice or two of lemon–that extra little touch of flavor just makes water more appealing to me. There are a lot of other ways you can flavor water naturally. You can get really creative with it! Here are some ideas… Add a slice of your favorite citrus to a tall glass of ice water…try lemon, lime, or orange slices. NOTE: I usually drink my flavored water the same day I make it…I think it tastes best that way. If you’re wanting to make a pitcher of flavored water, you basically just slice or chop up some fresh fruit, cucumbers, or herbs and place in a pitcher, add cold water and chill several hours. 1 large lemon, sliced1 large lime, sliced1 large orange, sliced1 large cucumber, sliced1 half-gallon of water Place all the sliced fruits and the cucumber in a glass pitcher and add water. 5 cups water10 thin slices of cucumber2 lemon slices2 sprigs of fresh mint3 sprigs of rosemary Put water in pitcher and add lemon slices and cucumber slices.
