These infused water recipes are for all of my peeps out there who struggle to drink enough water each and everyday. Plain water can get really boring. Especially when you’re trying to drink a gallon a day. Infused water to the rescue!

How to make infused water
Making these infused water recipes is easy. Here are a few tips and tricks to help you:

* Add your fruits and herbs to the desired about of water and let it infuse for 3-4 hours for the best flavor.
You can also let the water infuse overnight.
* After water has infused for 12 hours or more, you should remove the fruits and herbs. The infused water can then be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
* You can reuse the fruit after infusing, but the flavor will be lessened the second time.
* Citrus rinds can cause bitterness if you let them infuse too long. Remove the rinds to avoid this, or remove them after 3-4 hours of infusing.
* Wash your produce well before using in these infused water recipes. When possible, use organic produce or synthetic pesticide residue may also be infused into your water. If organic is not possible, I recommend cleaning with a vinegar wash. Although it’s debated as to whether this method is effective, I think it’s worth the extra step to help remove pesticide residue.
* Infused water should be refrigerated for storage. It will only last about 12 hours at room temperature.
