Infused filtered water
Are you bored with plain water? Fruit juice has too much sugar and calories, and most manufactured beverages are generally just overpriced sugar water. Here are a few things you can try adding to filtered water to create your own tasty, healthy water infusions:
Basil, rosemary, mint, sage, lemon balm, lavender.
Cinnamon sticks, vanilla pods, ginger, star anise.
Strawberries, raspberries, citrus fruits, melon.
Cucumber, mango, apples, blackberries.
