Instructions
Raspberry lime water
- In a large sealable jar, add 1 cup of fresh raspberries and 1 lime cut into quarters.
- Pat down with a wooden spoon to get some of the juice out without smashing them to smithereens.
- Put in about a cup of ice cubes then fill the jar with water.
- Sweeten to your liking with maple syrup.
- Keep in the fridge until you are ready for it (the flavors improve over time).
Cucumber mint water
- Wash about 2 inches worth of cucumber then slice into 1 cm thick discs.
- Wash a sprig of fresh mint, gently bruising it before placing it into a sealable jar with the cucumbers.
- Cover with water and add ice (optional) – enjoy right away. If cucumber isn’t appealing to you try pineapple instead.
Watermelon water
- Ever wonder why watermelon isn’t a traditional juice flavor? Me too! Create your own watermelon infused water by freezing cubes of watermelon then adding them to your drinking glass with a squeeze of lemon.
