We can’t stress enough how important it is to remain hydrated no matter the season. Whether it’s scorching summer or the cold dead of winter, our bodies require water to function properly. If you are not a fan of water, here’s a list of freshly flavoured water concoctions with various fruit infusions — to enable even the most reluctant of us to get in the regular quantity of fluids.
But first, let’s know how to make them-
Wash the fruit, veggies, or herbs you intend to use. Depending on your preference, you may wish to chop or slice the fruit or vegetables. Then, pour your flavourings into the jug or container. Feel free to play around with the mixes and the amount you use.
Fill the container to the brim with water. If using a bottle, cap it and gently shake it to allow the juice of the chopped and crushed fruit and spices to combine with the water. If you are using a large water jug, give it a good swirl with a spoon.
Basil with strawberries
It tastes great and contains iron and Vitamin C. This drink is known to combat wrinkles and other diseases, whether used alone or in combination.
Cinnamon and apples
Cinnamon lowers blood sugar concentrations and enhances insulin sensitivity, whilst apples have been found in tests to fight a variety of diseases. After all, an apple a day keeps the doctor away, correct?
Sage and blackberries
Blueberries include catechins, which stimulate fat-burning cells in the body and assist with weight reduction. Studies have also demonstrated blueberries to prevent memory loss and motor skill deterioration. Sage contains a lot of Vitamin A, calcium, and iron.
Mint and watermelon
To begin with, if you are attempting to beat the summer heat, this would be just amazing. Both melon and mint include natural electrolytes, which aid in the regulation of our body’s action neuron and muscle support. Mint leaf extracts also block the production of histamines, which promote nasal symptoms linked with allergies.
Lime and mango
This is certainly going to taste outstanding. Who does not love these fruits? Moreover, mangoes and limes are strong in Vitamin C, making this a powerful combo for boosting your immune system. Mangoes are also high in fibre one of the very few fruits that have enzymes that decompose protein.
Feel free to experiment, alter things up, and let your taste buds discover a new universe.
