Mix It Up
Add variety for the greatest nutritional impact. You can be creative and infuse your water with a number of fresh herbs, veggies, fruit, edible flowers, spices and superfoods from organic produce. Here are some suggestions:

Herbs: mint, rosemary, parsley, thyme, basil, cilantro, sage, lemongrass

Vegetables: cucumber, celery, fennel 

Fruit: citrus fruit, apples, pears, berries, pomegranate, tropical fruit

Edible flowers: lavender, rose, hibiscus, dandelion – (only use 100% pesticide free flowers)

Lemons –  alkaline, rich in vitamin C and a great electrolyte.

Goji Berries – are nutritional powerhouses and boost the immune system. 

Mint and lemongrass – support the digestive system and have a calming effect.

Have Fun with Recipes
Superfoods and herbs don’t just offer great nutrition, they’re also pretty tasty and fun to experiment with. The key to a healthy diet is creating enough variety so you’re never bored. Here are a few of my favorites to get you started. Brew either hot water or optional use water at room temperature and infuse it with the following ingredients.

Note: For warm infusions let ingredients steep for about 10 minutes for the cool option let the water sit for a few hours to allow the aroma to unfold. I recommend keeping it in a glass bottle or pitcher and drink it fresh. Also use filtered or a good quality drinking water.
