It's spring and that's a good thing. Days are getting warmer but not yet too warm and that's a good thing. I stay away from sugar and carbonated drinks and that's a good thing. I avoid caffeine too and that's a good thing.
However sometimes I want a treat to drink instead of my typical decaf coffee or tea or a plain glass of water. I have found that infused water can feel like a treat to me. It is such a simple idea that can have some tasty and refreshing results. Slices or chunks but not too big of fruits or veggies that you like will work. Think about blends that you see on the fancy bottled drinks in stores and make your own version.
For my first warm weather batch when I decided I need something new to drink, I put sliced tangerine, cucumber and ginger in a pitcher and then filled it with some filtered water and stuck it in the fridge. In a few hours I will have a refreshing cool drink to have with my dinner and beyond. You can refill the pitcher a couple times before the fruits and veggies you put in quit providing more flavor in my experience.
The picture above is not one of the prettiest pictures I've ever taken but you can see all the slices in the pitcher with the water just floating there working on giving me a lovely treat for later.
You know if you ever do infused water let me know what you like to put in yours. I am always looking for new ideas to try and comments on a blog make a blogger soooooo happy.
Back with more again soon. Take care and stay cozy!
