In an effort to drink more water (always a good thing, right?), I always get to the point where plain water just doesn't taste good anymore. And then drinking it seems like like chore and I start resenting it. Pretty soon, I'm not drinking water like I should...and the vicious cycle starts over.
I've found a few solutions: lightly flavored waters, crystal light packets, etc. But these are all kind of pricey and are a better fit for when I'm away from home. When I'm at home, a pitcher of infused water is a good solution. Also, it is inexpensive...and makes me feel kinda fancy.
I've found that scrubbing the fruit really well, then slicing it really thin and letting it infuse (AKA: sit in my fridge in the pitcher without drinking it) for 24 hours works really well. I've done apples and it turned out OK, but a relatively light flavor. Citrus fruit is the classic and definitely my favorite. I've done oranges, lemons, limes, and combos of those 3. All have been thoroughly tasty, healthy, refreshing beverages!
