Infused Waters
Keepeing you hydration interesting...
These are a few ideas of how to keep your water intake up without getting bored. They are great to serve at shared meals alongside, or instead of alcohol. I particularly like the sparking ones for a alcohol alternative.
​
For work you could make these the night before, to infuse overnight in the fridge, or in the morning to go with your lunch.
​
You can serve without the fruit, but I like to leave it in for a little healthy snack.

Strawberry & Blueberry
​This one is great way to use up over ripe fruit. Add a good big handful of strawberries (slice or quarter if not over squishy) and about half the amount of blueberries to a small jug of water. Mash berries with a cocktail muddler, the back of a wooden spoon, or the end of a rolling pin, add 500ml of water, sparkling or still. Cover and place in the fridge to infuse for a few hours.
To serve: sieve out mashed fruit if preferred, then top up with 1.5 litres of cold sparking water, ice and sliced strawberries and blueberries.

Cucumber & Mint
​
Add one third of a cucumber sliced and a few few sprig of mint to 2 litres of sparkling water. Cover refrigerate for 1-6 hours. Serve with ice.​​
Orange & Rosemary
​
Add 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary and half a sliced orange to 2 litres of sparkling water. Cover refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow to infuse. Serve with or without the rosemary sprigs and orange slices.​​
Strawberry, Orange & Mint
​
Add a handful of sliced or halved strawberries, half a sliced orange and a few mint leaves to 2 litres of water. Cover refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow to infuse. Serve with or without the strawberry, orange and mint leaves. ​​
