Here are some ideas for flavoured waters using natural fruits and herbs. If you refrigerate for a few hours, the flavours will have time to really infuse. You can use still or sparkling water, and can make a whole jug, or just one glass by reducing the ingredients. Try your own delicious combinations.
Cucumber and mint water
Make long thin slices from one cucumber with a vegetable peeler, and add to a large jug of water, with a handful of fresh mint leaves.
Mango and lime water
Add a few slices of fresh mango, or slices of mango from a tin (drained), with one thinly sliced lime, including the zesty peel, to one large jug of water.
Apple, pear and cinnamon water
Add a slices of red apple and green pear, with 1 stick of cinnamon, to a large jug of water.
Strawberry and lemon water
Wash and slice a punnet of fresh strawberries and one lemon, with the rind, and add to a large jug of water.
Watermelon and basil water
Add about 2 cups of fresh watermelon chunks/balls (without rind) to a large jug of water, with a handful of fresh basil leaves, gently crushed to help release the flavours.
