Hi everyone! If you are following us on our journey, you already know that we really care about healthy lifestyle, and that hydration is one of the main topic we've been writing about for the last few weeks (read about the WATER CHALLENGE we've started). In fact paying attention to the amount of liquids we consume daily, especially in summer, is very important. But can be very hard too, especially if you find water tasteless and "boring". In this case, you might want to drink beverages with some flavor, and infused water is the healthiest alternative you could find. Fruit and herb flavored water is not only delicious but also healthy and good for detoxification and energy.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR INFUSED WATER

You can infuse water with herbs, fruit, vegetables and even edible flowers! Rosemary, mint, basil, cinnamon, lavender, berries, melon, citrus, apples, cucumber and many more! Fill your pitcher to the top with ice and fruit/herbs. Cover with cold water and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. The longer it sits, the more flavorful the water will be!

Here some infusion ideas we really love:

- Strawberry, Lemon, and Basil

- Citrus, mint and Cucumber

- Watermelon and Mint

- Blueberry and Lavender

- Apple and Cinnamon

- Mango and Pineapple

- Cucumber, Lemon, Mint and Rosemary

- Pineapple and Orange

- Rosemary and Grapefruit

Hope you'll like these! Let us know if you try to make your own infused water and remember to drink enough during these hot summer day! Hasta pronto,

Vanilla & Julia
