Naturally flavored waters to fight thirst

If plain water seems boring to you, you can avoid carbonated drinks and chemical additives with these delicious naturally flavored waters. Sugary drinks are not good for our health, but not only because they are high in calories and do not hydrate us well. Here are some of its effects on your body:

To make these drinks, fill a pitcher to the top with the fruit and ice. In cases where basil or mint is used, you will need to crush the leaves a bit beforehand to release their flavor. Its function is to add an extra touch of freshness to the water.

Once the pitcher is full, pour the water into it. It will take an hour to get the taste, but if you want to speed up the process, you can prick the fruit with a fork. Thus, it will be flavored almost immediately.

When the water runs out, you can add more until the fruits stop flavoring it.
