Creating your own vitamin water is one of the simplest things to do! All
you need is some fruit, herbs and water and you are set. Don't settle
for the "vitamin waters" you might notice in grocery stores. Those
waters are full of artificial chemical flavourings, plenty of refined
sugar and bone dissolving acids all of which promote illness and
disease.
Making your own vitamin water infusions is quick and easy! They are
packed with natural vitamins and minerals (not synthetic alterations of
them) and thus they are better recognized and utilized in the body. Make
sure to create larger batches so that these waters will last you all
throughout the week!
Directions:
1. Pick a non-citrus fruit - I like to pick things like berries, kiwi, mango or pineapple.
2. Pick a citrus fruit - you can choose from orange slices to lemon or lime slices!
3. Add herbs - choose things like mint, rosemary, basil or other favourite herbs
Once you have decided on the combination you want to use (and you may
add as little or as much as you please of each - I like to add in about
1/2 cup of each fruit and 1/4 cup of herbs for 2 litres of water), put
them into a large jug of water and let them soak in the water in a
fridge overnight. In the morning you will have yourself a wonderful
vitamin infused water that you can enjoy over the day!
Favourite combinations of mine:
1. Strawberry, lemon, mint
2. Lemon, lime, mint
3. Kiwi, lemon, lime, mint
4. Pineapple, lemon, basil
5. Mango, orange, rosemary
*You may also choose to add some ice to your water for an even cooler treat!
