Fed up with Store Bought Fruit Juices?

DIY: Strawberry Cucumber Infused Water

Budget conscious and tired of spending on extra dollars pricey containers of juice? 

Try making your own flavored waters at home for a healthier alternative!

Options are always available. Here, I used what I had already at home.

What you’ll need:

       1.     A glass pitcher

       2.     Bottled spring water (glass is preferred but I used what was readily available in my kitchen)

       3.     Organic everything (even the lemon juice concentrate & organic fresh or frozen strawberries,    falling short of having fresh lemons and enough fresh strawberries at home)

       4.     An awesome organic hot house cucumber

       5.     Fresh organic herbs- mint & basil

       6.     The clear liquid stevia is also organic and is certainly optional but I like just a few drops

Combine all your fresh ingredients into the pitcher and let sit overnight to allow 

the juices of each ingredient infuse into the water.

Tip: using frozen organic fruits is an excellent substitute for ice and 

infuses the water with it’s natural flavor as is melts.

The strainer helps if you don’t like leaves in your drink but sometimes they do get stuck. 

I don’t mind so much and chew on them anyway as it is a natural digestive cleanser.

A little creativity goes a long way in the kitchen.  I’ve picked up a bag of fresh 

lemons recently and some organic blackberries. I feel a new flavor coming soon!

Do you have any favorite infused-water recipes you’ve tried before and loved?
