Infusing your water with fruits or herbs or even glucose not only adds flavor to the water but also adds essential vitamins and nutrients that help your body.  It's a great way to quench your thirst and keep you hydrated, especially on hot sunny days.

There are tons of great ways to jazz up water. Making infused water is very very simple, just add desired ingredient to a jug of water or bottle of water. Muddle mixture a bit if you want to increase flavor and let steep for at least 2- 3 hours or up to 24 hours in a fridge, it really depends on how strong you want the flavors. As long as you keep the water refrigerated, the ingredient (fruit) should stay fresh. You can keep refilling the jug or your water bottle as you drink the water, but of course it will dilute the flavor each time you refill. It should last several days before you need to remake with fresh ingredients.

One way to make infused water is with a single ingredient. Lemon is great, no lose option for adding a touch of flavor to water, so it can be a good one to start with if you've never made infused water before.

By the way, you can totally eat the fruit afterwards! ;-)
