10 best water additions

q

We all need to drink more water.  (Well, some of us already drink over 90 ounces a day, but let's pretend otherwise.)  Some times we need to spice it up a little to get the needed daily amount of water (64 ounces a day is recommended).   So here are some suggestions to dress that room temperature water up.

1) Squirt some lemon juice in the water -- adds vitamin C.

2) Squirt some lime juice in the water -- also adds vitamin C.

3) Pour the water over ice to have a cool glass.

4) Add some cucumber slices (this is especially good if you add it to a pitcher of water and let the mixture set for at least an hour in the fridge)

5) Add some pineapple chunks.  (And you can add these to a pitcher of water and also let set in the fridge for an hour.)

6) Add an orange or tangerine slice to the glass of water.

7) Add fresh mint leaves.

8) Drop some blue berries in the water.

9) Try fruit combos.  For example, add lemon and lime together, or add them both with an orange slice, or add raspberry and lime, or try adding peach and pineapple.


10)  Add some basil leaves for a surprising kick.
